Note

  • For details about which paper sizes are compatible with which fold or Multi-sheet Fold, see "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.

  • If you apply the Multi-sheet Fold function with letter fold-in to B5 JIS size paper, the folded sheets will be different in size to sheets folded without the Multi-sheet Fold function.
