IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Unavailable Combination of Functions." [Gutter] shifts the entire original image by the designated width. Therefore, an original whose image extends all the way to the edges of the sheet may be partially cut off on the copy.

NOTE
You can choose to only create a gutter on the back side of a copy. This enables you to copy originals that already have a gutter in the 1-Sided2-Sided mode or 2-Sided1-Sided mode.
