Add Cover

This mode enables you to set the machine to automatically add front and back covers. You can use a different type of paper from that used for the main document. You can also set whether to copy on the front and back covers.

IMPORTANT
Make sure to set the paper type correctly, especially when using heavy paper or other special types of paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it may adversely affect image quality. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.

Press [Copy].

Press [Options] → [Add Cover].

Select the type of cover → press [Next].

To select the paper for the front and back cover, press [Change] for <Select Paper> → select the paper → press [OK].

IMPORTANT
Select the same size paper for [Front Cover] and [Back Cover]. If you set a different paper size for the front cover, back cover, or sheet insertions, the paper sizes for the other features are automatically changed to the new paper size. However, changing the paper source for a feature to a source with the same paper size does not change the settings for the other features.

Select the type of printing → press [OK] → [Close].

NOTE
If you select [Leave Blank] for the front and/or back cover, the machine inserts a sheet of paper from the paper source selected in step 3 to be used as the front and/or back cover. If you are using paper that already has printing on it (e.g., a company logo) as a front cover, back cover, or sheet insertion, select [Leave Blank]. Otherwise, the machine will copy on the preprinted paper. If you select [Print on Front Side], [Print on Back Side], or [Print on Both Sides] for the front and/or back cover, the machine inserts a sheet of paper from the paper source that you selected in step 3 to be used as the print's front and/or back cover. The machine then copies on the front side, back side, or both sides of the front and/or back cover.

IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart." If you select the Staple mode, you cannot staple more than 30 sheets of A3, B4, or A4R paper, or 50 sheets of A4 or B5 paper, including sheet insertions.

NOTE
If you are copying on the front cover, back cover, or sheet insertions, these sheets are included in the count of the total number of copies made. If these sheets are left blank, however, the machine's counter does not count them as copies. If you are adding chapter pages, these sheets are included in the count of the total number of copies made. If you want to set both Cover and Paper Insertion, select the same paper size.
