IMPORTANT
The Finishing modes cannot be used with jobs without a job ticket. Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, especially when you use special types of paper, such as heavy paper, 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. If you set the Staple, Hole Punch, or Z-Fold mode, the side of the paper which is printed on will always be output face down.
