If Notice Page printing was allowed by the key operator
"PROHIBIT NOTICE PAGE PRINTING", a Notice Page is
printed. (This will be done in both case when the output after
second set is canceled or not.)

Note: Every Finisher’s paper sizes available for output are uniformed

in the Face-up and the Face-down modes.

Although Tray 1 of the 3 tray Finisher supports Face-down, it cannot
be used in the Printer mode.

The output of print jobs with no paper destination specified is all
directed to the default exit tray. (In all exit devices, the default tray is
Top Tray, face up.)

For duplex printing, selecting a new paper size, or source empties the
duplex module and printing resumes on the next odd face.  In N - 1
Print Order printing this may be accomplished by inserting a blank
page side into the job stream in order to fill in the back side of a page.
This does not apply for only an image orientation change.  This is
best illustrated by the example below.

For the job shown below, printing 8 faces on 2 sizes of paper, a face
down duplex printer will produce the mix of duplex pages shown
below

The system will insert blank pages if necessary to create the same
output for both 1 - N Print Order and N - 1 Print Order print jobs.

In the above-mentioned case, inserted blank pages are NOT
counted.

The Binding Edge controls the appearance of both simplex and
duplex documents.  This determines how pages will be rotated by the
system so that when bound all of the pages will have the correct
orientation in the document.

All three Binding Edge controls are supported.
