Booklet Mode
This mode enables you to print one-sided or two-sided files in such a way that the prints are made into a booklet.
For the Booklet Scanning mode of the Mail Box function, see "Booklet Scanning."
Saddle Stitch Booklet
This mode enables you to print one-sided or two-sided files in such a way that the prints are made into a booklet.
When the Booklet Finisher is attached
Divided Booklet
This mode enables you to make a multiple page document with a large number of pages into a divided booklet.
Creep (Displacement) Correction
This mode enables you to adjust the position of the images in a booklet by calculating the width of the displacement between the outermost page and centre page of the booklet.
*1 Trimmed
*2 After the pages are trimmed, the outer margins of all pages are equal.
*3 The inner margins are set so that the inner margins of the outermost pages are wider than the inner margins of the centre pages. The placement of the images on each page is adjusted by calculating the amount of displacement between the outermost page and innermost page of the booklet.
IMPORTANT
This mode can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box or a PDF file.
In the Saddle Stitch mode, saddle stitching is not performed if there is only one output sheet.
The Saddle Stitch and Divided Booklet modes can be set only if the Booklet Finisher is attached.
The accuracy of folds created in the Saddle Stitch mode may vary, depending on the type and quantity of paper.
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
The Booklet Scan in Booklet mode can only be specified for the following paper sizes: A4, A4R, A5, or A5R. 
The Booklet mode cannot be set if multiple files are selected, and their record sizes are different.
The Finishing modes cannot be set for paper less than 60 g/m2. Do not select the Finishing modes.
The Booklet mode cannot be used with files with a resolution of less than 600 × 600 dpi.
NOTE
If you want to print files for use as a booklet, we recommend that you scan the originals using the Booklet Scanning mode. (See "Booklet Scanning.")
