Booklet Mode

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

  • Booklet

This mode enables you to copy one-sided or two-sided originals in such a way that the copies 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
  • The 2-Sided Original mode is available only if the optional Feeder (DADF-U1) is attached (standard equipped for the iR3245/iR3235 in some regions).
  • 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.
  • Make sure to place originals with a vertical (portrait) orientation vertically. If these originals are placed horizontally, the even numbered pages will be printed upside down.
