FITTING THE PRINT IMAGE TO THE PAPER
This function is used to automatically enlarge or reduce the printed image to match the size of the paper loaded in the 
machine.
This is convenient for such purposes as enlarging an A4 or letter size document to A3 or ledger size to make it easier to 
view, and to print when the same size of paper as the document image is not loaded in the machine.
The following example explains how to print an A4 size document on A3 size paper.
(1) Click the [Paper] tab.
(2) Select the size of the print image (for 
example: A4).
(3) Select [Fit To Paper Size].
(4) Select the actual paper size to be used for 
printing (for example: A3).
(This function can only be used in Mac OS X v10.4.11 and v10.5 to 10.5.5.)
(1) Select [Paper Handling].
(2) Check the size of the print image (for 
example: A4).
To change the print image size, use the Paper Size 
menu that appears when [Page Setup] is selected.
(3) Select [Scale to fit paper size].
(4) Select the actual paper size to be used for 
printing (for example: A3).

PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES ON ONE PAGE
This function can be used to reduce the print image and print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper.
This is convenient when you want to print multiple images such as photos on a single sheet of paper, and when you 
want to conserve paper. This function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing for maximum 
conservation of paper.
For example, when [2-Up] (2 pages per sheet) and [4-Up] (4 pages per sheet) are selected, the following print results will 
be obtained, depending on the order selected.

sheet)Print results

 The page orders for 6-Up, 8-Up, 9-Up, and 16-Up are the same as for 4-Up.
 In a Windows environment, the page order can be viewed in the print image in the printer driver properties window.
In a Macintosh environment, the page orders are displayed as selections.
 In a Macintosh environment, the number of pages that can be printed on a single sheet is 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16.

 To use the staple function, a finisher or saddle stitch finisher is required.
 To use the punch function, a punch module must be installed on the finisher or saddle stitch finisher.

The number of holes that can be punched and the spacing between the holes varies depending on the installed punch module.
 For the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled, see SPECIFICATIONS in the Safety Guide.
The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled at once includes any covers and/or inserts that are inserted.
 The staple function cannot be used in combination with the offset function, which offsets the position of each output job 
from the previous job.
 When the finisher is disabled in the machines system settings (administrator), the staple function and punch function 
cannot be used.
 When the staple function or the punch function is disabled in the machines system settings (administrator), stapling or 
punching is not possible.

PAMPHLETS AND POSTERS
CREATING A PAMPHLET (Pamphlet/Pamphlet Staple)
The pamphlet function prints on the front and back of 
each sheet of paper so that the sheets can be folded and 
bound to create a pamphlet. This is convenient when

When a saddle stitch finisher is installed and saddle 
stitch printing and the staple function are selected, the 
output is automatically folded and stapled at the centre. 
This allows you to conveniently use the output as a 
handout or pamphlet without the need for any further 
work.

(2) Select [Pamphlet Style].
The pamphlet printing method can be selected from the 
pull-down menu.
(3) Select the Binding Edge.
[2 Staples] can be selected for Staple when a saddle 
stitch finisher is installed.
