Binding Printed Sheets

You can use the various functions to finish the printed sheets as a book.

Select a combination of functions to bind the printed sheets as needed.

Types of Binding

The machine cannot fold or saddle stitch the printed pages. After printing originals using the magazine function, fold and saddle stitch the printed pages by hand.

Magazine

Arrange four original pages as shown below and print them on a sheet. Stack all printed sheets and fold them in half to arrange the pages in the order of the page numbers.

Staple the stacked sheets in the center to finish as a booklet.

Magazine and Combine

You can arrange multiple pages of originals on a page of a bound book printed by specifying Magazine.
