Makes two parallel folds, one of which faces in and the other facing out.
To use the Z-fold function, you must set the Z-fold support tray. For details about how to set the Z-fold support tray, see "Guide to Functions of the Machine's Options", Getting Started.
You cannot use Punch with this function.
Original orientation and Z-fold position
Place all the originals in the ADF in the orientation in which they can be read normally. When placing the original on the exposure glass, keep the same orientation, but place the original facing downwards.

*1 The above table shows Z-fold positions. The orientation of the paper does not indicate the orientation of delivery.
Press [Finishing].
Press [Folding Unit].
Select the folding direction, and then press [OK].
Place the originals, and then press [Start].
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 the specifications of each option.
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 the specifications of each option.
When using this function with 1 Sided
2 Sided and Mixed Sizes modes, always ensure that the originals of each size are in even numbers. If you have an odd number of originals, insert blank sheets to adjust the total.
Depending on the Z-fold settings, you may not be able to use Rotate Copy.
For details about the number of Z-folded copies that can be stacked on the finisher trays, see the specifications of each option.
The capacity of the tray may vary depending on the condition of the paper.
Even if you have selected [Face Up] for [Copy Eject Face Method in Glass Mode] in User Tools, the copies will be delivered face down. For details, see Input / Output.
