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

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).

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.

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 setting can be used to have output
automatically switched to the lower tray when this
happens so that printing can continue. To enable the
setting, select the [AUTO SWITCHING OF 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.

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 7-5 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.

Use this setting to select the paper type* for which the
automatic paper selection function operates.
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 system settings (page 2-12 of the
"Operation manual (for general information and
copier operation)").

This is used to optimize the "Main folder" and "Custom
folder" that are used for the document filing function.
When this setting is executed, a message will appear
asking if it is okay to stop the job in progress. Touch the
[YES] key to stop the job and begin optimization. When
optimization ends, the machine will restart if the power
switch is switched on, or turn off if the power switch is
switched off.

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.
