Booklet: Copying as Booklet

Use this function to make a multiple page signature booklet printed on 2-sided paper, with original images automatically arranged in correct order.

Select either [Left Bind] or [Right Bind] according to the desired booklet type.

This function equally adjusts differences between the inside and outside margins of folding or binding paper, which occur when trimming folded or bound paper.

If the machine is equipped with Saddle Stitcher SD-506 or Saddle Stitcher SD-513, booklets folded in the center or folded and saddle-stitched booklets can be made, and trimming function is also available in combination.

The Finisher FS-532 mounted with the Saddle Stitcher SD-510 allows Half-Hold or Fold & Staple.
