Folded documents are delivered to the multi-folding unit only.
You can specify the fold-back position in 1 mm (0.04 inches) increments under Letter Fold-out Position in User Tools. For details about Letter Fold-out Position, see “System Settings”, Network and System Settings Reference.
The Multi-sheet Fold function can fold a maximum of three sheets at a time.
When you enable the Multi-sheet Fold function (by setting it to [On]), the Sort function is automatically applied also. However, the Mixed Sizes function is not available while the Multi-sheet Fold function is enabled.
If the Booklet or Magazine function is set, the settings for those functions have priority.
The following copier functions are not available when the Letter Fold-out function is enabled:
- Punch
- Staple
Wrinkling can occur when applying letter fold-out to B4 JIS, A3, 8¹/₂ × 14, 11 × 17, 12 × 18, 8K, or larger sheets. In some cases, you may have to use A4 sheets or smaller when applying folds in combination with the reduction function.
To fold multiple sheets with the Letter Fold-out function, you must install the Z-fold support tray for the multi-folding unit and the output holding unit for letter fold-out. For details about how to configure these settings, see “When the Output Letter Fold-out Paper Is Less than the Stack Capacity”, Troubleshooting.
