Insert Sheet: Adding a Front Cover or Insert Paper
Use this function in print mode or blank mode to insert chapter sheets or separator sheets into the finished set, as well as front and back covers. You can select whether to add the original in print mode or blank mode upon setting the Front/Back cover and insert sheets. The covers and insert sheets can be fed from a tray source other than that of body sets. When Post Inserter PI-502 is installed, paper feeding is also possible from the post inserter. If a Post Inserter is available, a blank cover or insert sheet can be inserted.
Front/Back Cover setting
There are the following options which can be selected for Front/Back Cover setting. Front Cover (Print or Blank) and Back Cover (Print or Blank) can be configured individually.
Setting options | Description |
|---|---|
Front Cover + Print |
|
Front Cover + Blank | A blank sheet for a front cover will be inserted as the first sheet, regardless of the printing mode (simplex/duplex) of the original or copied set.
|
Back Cover + Print |
 |
Back Cover + Blank | A blank sheet for a back cover will be inserted as the last sheet of copied set, regardless of the simplex/duplex printing mode of the original or copy.  |
Insert Sheet setting
Insert Sheet setting produces various output depending on the [simplex/duplex] setting of the original and copy type or the [simplex/duplex] setting of insert paper.
Example: Selecting [Print] with page [5] specified as insertion location
Setting options | Description |
|---|---|
[1->1] | The 5th sheet of single-sided original is copied onto the insert sheet, which will be the 5th sheet of copied set. An insert sheet cannot be duplex-copied.
|
[1->2] |
|
[2->2] | The 5th sheet (the 9th and 10th pages) of double-sided original is printed onto both sides of the insert sheet, which will be the 5th sheet of copied set. An insert sheet cannot be simplex-copied.  |
[2->1] | The 5th sheet (the 9th and 10th pages) of double-sided original is simplex-copied onto 2 insert sheets, which will be the 9th and 10th sheets of copied set. An insert sheet cannot be duplex-copied.  |
Example: Selecting [Blank] with page [5] specified as insertion location
Setting options | Description |
|---|---|
[1->1] | A blank sheet will be inserted after the 5th sheet of single sided original is simplex-copied.
|
[1->2] | A blank sheet is inserted after the 5th and 6th sheet of single-sided original are duplex-copied. With page [6] specified, the output result will be the same.
|
[2->2] | A blank sheet will be inserted after the 5th sheet (the 9th and 10th pages) of double-sided original are duplex-copied.  |
[2->1] | A blank sheet will be inserted after the 5th sheet (the 9th and 10th pages) of double-sided original are simplex-copied. A sheet cannot be inserted after an odd-numbered page of copied set.  |
Use ADF. Use [Separate Scan] if the original page count exceeds 150. Combined with the Separate Scan mode, the original glass will also be available.
Trays for copy paper, front and back covers, and insert sheets should have the same paper size loaded. (Auto Zoom is automatically selected.)
Front/back cover can be fed one sheet at a time from tray 1-5 and/or up to 40 sheets from the post inserter. When sheets from the main body tray and post inserter are fed together, the post inserter feeds the first (front) cover and the last (back) cover.
You can set up to 100 types, from page 1 to 999, for insert sheet setting, excluding front and back covers. Also, a maximum of 40 sheets can be inserted for each insertion point from the post inserter.
Position the original.
Load paper into the tray.
Load paper for front/back cover, insert sheets, and text copy into any tray. When using the post inserter, load paper into the post inserter tray. Be sure that the trays for copy paper, front/back cover, and insert sheets have paper of the same size.
Check the tray information to see which type/size of paper is specified for each tray before loading paper. If a different type of paper is loaded into the tray, copying may not be completed or a malfunction may occur.
