GENERAL PROGRAMS

Saddle stitch position adjust

This program is used to adjust the stapling position
(folding position) when using the saddle stitch function
of the optional saddle stitch finisher.
The value can be adjusted in 0.25 mm increments
within ±2.00 mm from the reference position for each
paper size.

[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkmark
The saddle stitch print function can normally be divided
into the following three general steps.
1. The pages of the original are automatically
reordered to allow saddle stitch binding (saddle
stitch function).
2. The pages are folded at the centre.
3. The paper is stapled at the centre in two places
(saddle stitch stapling).
The [AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox is
selected by default.
Selection of the checkbox assumes the use of the
above saddle stitch printing function (three steps).
Saddle stitch stapling exceptions
Depending on the purpose of saddle stitch stapling, it
may be necessary to perform saddle stitch stapling on
printed matter that has already been bound by saddle
stitching. In this case, it is necessary to disable step 1
above. If you frequently perform this type of
exceptional saddle stitch stapling that requires
disabling step 1, remove the checkmark from the
[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox.

Auto switching of finisher trays

Output to the upper tray of the saddle stitch finisher or
finisher normally stops if a large number of sheets
accumulates in the tray and the tray full sensor
activates. This program can be used to have output
automatically switched to the lower tray when this
happens so that printing can continue. To enable the
program, select the
FINISHER TRAYS" checkbox.
This setting is not effective when a tray other than the
upper tray of the saddle stitch finisher or finisher is set
as the output tray.

Rotated output

When Rotated output is turned on, you can have the
paper output orientation (A4-size paper only) of each
set of copies alternate between horizontal and vertical.
This function is used to sort output when neither the
Finisher peripheral nor the Saddle stitch finisher
peripheral are installed.
* To use this function, A4-size paper must be loaded
both horizontally and vertically in the paper trays. This
function works when paper is output to the centre tray.
The function does not work in the following cases:
• When paper is output to the Finisher peripheral or the
Saddle stitch finisher.
• Printing in Group mode.
• When a letter-size original is printed on A4-size
paper using the "A4/letter size auto change" key
operator program (page 5-5 of the "Operation
manual (for printer)").
• When "Transparency Inserts" or "Different Paper
settings" is selected in the printer driver.
• When the "Paper Source" drop down in the "Paper
Selection" is set to any selection other than "Auto
Select" in the printer driver.
• When the printing paper size for a stored job or a job in
progress has been overridden and changed to A4 size.
NOTE
When interrupt copying is performed, Rotated output
does not take place to distinguish the output of
regular copying from interrupt copying. Also,
Rotated output cannot be used to sort output by job.

Auto paper selection setting

Use this program to select the paper type* for which the
automatic paper selection
Selections are "PLAIN PAPER", "PLAIN AND
RECYCLE PAPER", and "RECYCLE PAPER".
* The paper type set for each paper tray in the paper
tray settings of the user settings (page 2-10 of the
"Operation manual (for general information and
copier operation)").

List print

This program is used to print lists and reports that can
only be printed from the key operator programs.
• Touch the [KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS LISTS]
key to print one of the following groups:
Copy, printer, fax/image send, document filing,
general, security, all program lists
• Touch a key other than the [KEY OPERATOR
PROGRAMS LISTS] key to begin printing a list or report.
