  1. Click [View] - [Folded view].

    Or move your mouse over the top or bottom of the page in the [Preview] view. An arrow becomes available. Click this arrow.

    Click button [Unfold] to unfold the page(s).

  1. Click [Pages] - [Fold].

  2. Select a fold type.

    Option [No fold] removes all folds from the document. Each set of folded sheet(s) becomes an output group.

    • [Finisher]

      Select the intended finisher for this document. By selecting the intended finisher you can improve the preview of your document. In the [Production] workspace, you decide to which finisher you send your document.

      The administrator configures which finishers are available.

    • [Print first page on]

      [Outside of folded sheet]: The first page is visible for the reader when a single sheet is folded.

      [Inside of folded sheet]: The first page is visible for the reader when a single sheet is unfolded.

      Both settings apply to every odd page in an output group.

    • [Create output groups]

      You can select the following options for a multi fold setting:

      • [Single output group]

        The document is defined as one output group. This output group is folded in its entirety.

      • [pages per output group]

        You define the number of pages per output group. Each output group is folded separately.

      NOTE

      No warning is reported when the total number of pages in a document is not an integer multiple of the output group size. In case of a mismatch, the last output group contains fewer pages.

    • You can select stapling for a multi fold setting. The option [Staple] overrules any previously assigned staples.

  4. Click [OK].
