Other Print Operations

Z-fold

This function is available with the RPCS, PCL 5e/6, or PostScript 3 printer driv- er. For details, see the relevant printer driver Help.

You can manage Z-folding when the optional Z-folding unit is attached.

Folding Positions

When Z-folding, select the folding positions for the front page using the printer

3 driver.

The relationship between the size of the front page and that of subsequent pages determines whether the subsequent pages can be Z-folded.

Select the folding position according to the print direction.

If the size of the paper is the same as that of the front page, the paper can be Z-folded only if the front page can be Z-folded.
