When Using the Copy Application
About how to use the application's screen, see "[Copy] Screen".
Procedure for Z-fold (classic)
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 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.
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.
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 "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.
The capacity of the tray may vary depending on the condition of the paper.
