Insert Sheets
This mode enables you to set the machine to automatically add sheet insertions, chapter pages, or tab papers using a different type of paper from that used for the main document. In addition, you can decide whether the sheet insertions and tab paper are copied on as well. Chapter pages are always copied on.
IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Unavailable Combination of Functions."
If you select the Staple mode when the Staple Finisher/Booklet Finisher is attached, you cannot staple more than 30 sheets of A3 or A4R paper, or 50 sheets of A4 paper, including sheet insertions.
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.
NOTE
If you are copying on the sheet insertions, these sheets are included in the count of the total number of copies made. If these sheets are left blank, however, the machine's counter does not count them as copies.
If you are adding chapter pages, these sheets are included in the count of the total number of copies made.
If you want to set both Cover and Paper Insertion, select the same paper size.
Sheets/Chapter Page
This setting inserts a sheet of paper between copies. The Sheet Insertion mode is useful when you want to use a blank sheet to tutorial sort out the copies. You may also copy on the sheet insertions. Since the chapter page is always copied on one side, the Chapter Page mode is useful when you want to organize the copies by chapter.
*1 Printed Sheet Insertion
*2 Printed Chapter Page

Tab Paper
This setting inserts sheets of tab paper into the prints. This feature is useful when you want to divide the main body of text.
NOTE
If you are feeding tab papers from the Document Insertion/Folding Unit or Document Insertion Unit, you cannot copy on the tab papers.
To print on the tab paper, set the shift width of the image to be printed on the tabs.
* Area to be Shifted
NOTE
When copying on tab paper, check that the position of the tabs is correct.
If you are feeding tab paper from the paper drawer, you must register the paper type in the paper source as tab paper beforehand. (See "Registering the Paper Type for the Paper Source.")
For instructions on loading tab paper into the paper drawer, Document Insertion/Folding Unit, or Document Insertion Unit, see "Maintenance."
If [Unfinished Tab Paper Forced Output] in Function Settings (from the Settings/Registration screen) is set to 'On', the extra amount of tab paper sheets that were not required for the job are forced out of the machine.
Example: If the number of tabs is set to 5 and the machine estimates that seven sheets of tab paper are needed for the copy job, you must prepare two sets of tab paper each containing five tabs (10 total). Therefore, if the machine only uses seven tab paper sheets, three tab paper sheets will remain.
Areas of images shifted outside the tab paper cannot be copied on the paper, and may cause the following copies to have black streaks or appear dirty.
Example: Areas of images may shift outside the tab paper.

If you select [Tab], only A4 paper can be used.
You cannot insert a sheet insertion or chapter page on the first page. Set their positions starting from the second page. However, you can insert tab paper in front of the first page.
If [Print on Both Sides] is selected for the front cover in the [Add Cover] mode and tab paper is set to insert in front of the first page, the front cover is output first, and then the tab paper is output. The front cover outputs as a blank paper and prints are made starting from the tab paper.
If you select [Leave Blank] for the sheet insertion, you can set the same page for tab paper. In this case, the paper for the sheet insertion is output first, and then the tab paper is output.
NOTE
You can insert up to 100 sheet insertions (or chapter pages) and tab paper.
If you are using paper that already has printing on it (e.g., company logo) as your sheet insertion, then you must select [Leave Blank]. Otherwise, the machine will print your original's first or last page on the preprinted paper.
