Feed instruction for [Z-fold] 

The [Z-fold] setting folds A3 / 11" x 17" or A4R / LTRR paper into A4 / LTR or A5 / SMT size respectively.

Folded output	Glass plate	Automatic document feeder
Leading-edge length (1) and feed direction (2)

NOTE

To verify whether stapling is possible, use the following formula X + 2Y +10Z, where

• X is the number of A4 sheets which are not Z-folded;

• Y is the number of A3 sheets which are not Z-folded;

• Z is the number of Z-folded sheets.

If the sum of the formula is more than 100, stapling is not possible.

Example 1: 50 A4 sheets + 4 A3 sheets + 1 A3 Z-folded sheet = 68 -> stapling is possible

Example 2: 50 A4 sheets + 7 A3 Z-folded sheets = 120 -> stapling is not possible
