Collating Prints
You can select Finishing modes to collate print output in various ways, by pages or print sets.
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
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 file.
The Saddle Stitch and Fold modes can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box.
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
The Finishing modes cannot be set for paper less than 60 g/m2. Do not select the Finishing modes.

Other Modes Compatible with Finishing
Hole Punch
The machine punches two or more holes in the output.
Saddle Fold
The machine folds A3 or A4R paper into A4 or A5 size, respectively.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
The Saddle Fold mode can be set only if 2-Sided Printing is set.
The paper is saddle folded one sheet at a time, and then output.
|
Rotate 90 Degrees
If the prints are of the same size, the sheets are automatically collated into sets arranged in page order. These sets are output in alternating directions as follows:
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
You can only set [Rotate 90 Degrees] in the following cases:
If the paper size is set to [Auto] on the Paper Size Selection screen
If the paper size compatible with Rotate 90 Degrees is loaded in both the horizontal and vertical directions
If [Paper Drawer Auto Selection On/Off] for the selected paper source is set to 'On' (See "Enabling Paper Drawer Auto Selection.")
If there is no paper which can be rotated, the output will be collated.
|

If you set [Offset], you can specify the number of print sets to offset. The prints are slightly offset vertically in the output tray as shown below.
