Divided Booklet

This mode enables you to make a large document with many pages into a divided booklet.

Creep (Displacement) Correction

This mode enables you to adjust the position of the images in a booklet by calculating the width of the displacement between the outermost page and centre page of the booklet

*1 Trimmed

*2 After the pages are trimmed, the outer margins of all pages are equal.

*3 The inner margins are set so that the inner margins of the outermost pages are wider than the inner margins of the centre pages. The placement of the images on each page is adjusted by calculating the amount of displacement between the outermost page and innermost page of the booklet.

As an example, the procedure for printing files that are stored in a Mail Box is explained in this section.

IMPORTANT
This mode can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box or a PDF or XPS file. The Saddle Stitch and Divided Booklet modes can be set only if the Booklet Finisher-K1/Booklet Finisher-L1 is attached. Be sure to correctly set the paper type. When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper.
