Note

  • When you have finished using the Z-fold support tray for multi-folding unit, open the front cover of the multi-folding unit and re-attach the tray to its stowage hook.

  • Folded copies that are delivered to the multi-folding unit tray might be stacked with their folds open. If this happens, the position of the folds is unaffected and the copies will still be output in order. Stacked copies can be easily separated in the order they are delivered. To prevent their folded sections overlapping, configure the machine to deliver folded copies to the finisher upper tray or finisher shift tray.

  • Remove the Z-fold support tray when delivering copies to the finisher shift tray or the multi-folding unit tray without using the Z-fold function. If you leave the Z-fold support tray in place, prints are not stacked properly.

  • You can staple Z-folded copies. For details about the number and the paper sizes of Z-folded copies that can be stapled, see "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.

  • Even if you place different size originals in the ADF, appropriate size of copy paper can be automatically selected and Z-folded using the Mixed Sizes mode and Auto Paper Select function.

  • When you copy different size originals, such as A3 and A4 (11 × 17 and 81/2 × 11), use this function with Mixed Sizes mode. Copies of the large size original are Z-folded and will be the same size as the copy of the small size original. For details about the paper sizes you can use together, see "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.
