14 ppm models

When the folding is cancelled

When the output is from the bypass tray
When the folding type and orientation is not properly set.
When a paper type that cannot be folded is selected.
When the Folding Finisher Tray is not selected for the paper output tray.
When [Normal Print] is not selected for the printing method.

If the optional folding finisher is connected but the fold settings are incorrect, you might not be able to make settings for the optional device using the printer driver.
Printing starts only after jobs from other functions (such as the copier) that are using the folding finisher have finished.
Depending on the application you are using, printer settings might not be applied and printing might not be as required.
