Booklet Mode
This mode enables you to output copies as booklets.
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
Saddle Stitch Booklet
This mode enables you to copy one-sided or two-sided originals so that the copies are made in a booklet layout.
Divided Booklet
This mode enables you to make a large document with many 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.
*1 Trimmed
*2 After the pages are trimmed, the outer margins of all pages are equal.
*3 The inner margins are set so that the inner margins of the outermost pages are wider than the inner margins of the center pages. The placement of the images on each page is adjusted by calculating the amount of displacement between the outermost page and innermost page of the booklet.

NOTE
To make sure that the [Saddle Press] setting is effective, you must saddle stitch more than nine sheets of paper (including one cover sheet).

Be sure to correctly set the paper type. When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you use 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 and require a service repair, or the paper could jam.
