This mode enables you to set the machine to automatically add front and back covers using a different type of paper from that used for the main document. In addition, you can decide whether the front and back covers are printed on as well.

• For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."

• This mode can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box.

• If you select the Staple mode when the Staple Finisher-A1 or Booklet Finisher-A1 is attached, you cannot staple more than 50 sheets of 11" × 17", LGL, or LTRR paper, or 100 sheets of LTR or EXEC paper, including covers. However, if both the Staple Cartridge-H1 and Staple-H1 are attached, the sheets cannot be stapled when the total number of sheets and cover sheets exceeds 50, regardless of the paper size.

• If you select the Staple mode when the Staple Finisher-B1 or Booklet Finisher-B1 is attached, you cannot staple more than 30 sheets of 11" × 17", LGL, or LTRR paper, or 50 sheets of LTR or EXEC paper, including covers.

• 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.

• If you are printing on the front cover or back cover, these sheets are included in the count of the total number of prints made. If these sheets are left blank, however, the machine's counter does not count them as prints.

• If you want to set both Add Cover and Insert Sheets or Job Separator, select the same paper size.

• If you are feeding front covers and back covers from the Document Insertion Unit-H1, Document Insertion Unit-J1, or Document Insertion / Folding Unit-G1, you cannot print on the front covers and back covers.
