Booklet Mode

This mode enables you to print one-sided or two-sided originals in such a way that the prints are made into a booklet.

For the Booklet Scanning mode of the Mail Box function, see "Booklet Scanning."

  • Booklet

This mode enables you to print one-sided or two-sided originals in such a way that the prints are made into a booklet.

  • Divided Booklet

This mode enables you to make a multiple page document with a large number of 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 center page of the booklet.


Remark
  • For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."
  • Saddle stitching is not performed if there is only one output sheet.
  • The Saddle Stitch and Divided Booklet modes can be set only if the optional Saddle Finisher-AE2 is attached.
  • The accuracy of folds created in the Saddle Stitch mode may vary, depending on the type and quantity of paper.
  • When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. 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 Booklet mode can only be specified for the following paper sizes: A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5, or A5R.
  • The Booklet mode cannot be set if multiple documents are selected, and their record sizes are different.
  • The Booklet mode cannot be used with documents whose resolution is other than 600 × 600 dpi.
  • If you want to print documents for use as a booklet, we recommend that you scan the originals using the Booklet Scanning mode. (See "Booklet Scanning.")
