If the information icon (
/ 
) is displayed next to the "Fold:" list, you cannot specify fold function. Click the information icon ( / ) to check why fold function is unavailable.If you cannot make fold function settings even with a multi-folding unit installed, options may not be set correctly in the printer driver. To correct the printer driver's option settings, see "Configuring Option Settings for the Printer", Printer Driver Installation Guide.
When stapling Z-folded paper, fewer sheets than normal can be stapled together. This is because a single Z-folded sheet is equivalent to 10 non-Z-folded sheets. For the number of sheets that can be stapled, see "Specifications for Finisher SR5050", "Specifications for Booklet Finisher SR5060", "Specifications for Finisher SR5110", or "Specifications for Booklet Finisher SR5120", Specifications.
Depending on the temperate and humidity conditions of the machine's environment and the type of paper being folded, use of the fold function can cause toner smearing, which can occasionally result in spoilt prints.
Wrinkling can occur when applying letter fold-out to B4 JIS
, A3, 81/214, 11 × 17, 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.Print quality over fold lines might be reduced. This is due to cracking within the fused toner. Loss of surface along fold lines can also occur with some types of paper. To avoid possible wastage, print a single test sheet before beginning a print run.
Printing will stop if the number of printed sheets exceeds tray capacity. If this happens, remove printed sheets from the folding unit tray to resume printing.
