Finishing Gutter 6-4 2 In Basic > Source, select an Auto source. 3 In the Finishing tab, select Finishing edge. 4 Select from available Position options, or select Custom. Positions are based on the Print size selection in the Basic tab. 5 Click OK in all driver dialog boxes. 6 Load each paper size into different paper cassettes. For example, load A4 and A3 paper so that both sizes feed the 297 mm edge or load letter and legal paper so that both sizes feed the 8.5 inch edge. 7 Click OK in the application's Print dialog box. If the printer driver determines that the specified paper size or direction (short or long edge) is unavailable in the printing system, the operation panel message requests that you load the correct paper size into the cassette with the correct orientation. Positioning Options for Finishing Edge You can select from available options to specify the page edges to be aligned and finished. For additional position settings, select Custom, then click Settings. Available options for Position depend on Print size, Orientation, Booklet, and Multiple pages per sheet selections. In the side panel display, the page image shows a blue highlighted strip to indicate the current selected Finishing edge with Staple and Punch positions, if selected. When the Staple option is used, the Position selection determines where staples are placed. Use this image to verify your selections for Finishing edge and Staple. Custom Finishing Edge Settings The illustrations in the Custom Finishing Edge Settings dialog box help you visualize the page alignments. Select the one setting that best illustrates the edge of the mixed pages you want to align. To select Custom for Position, click Settings. In the Custom Finishing Edge Settings dialog box, select one of the settings. The illustrations in the dialog box help you visualize the page alignments. In the Custom Finishing Edge Settings dialog box: The top two settings (A4/Letter) are for the smaller size paper in the mixed page document. The second row of settings (A3/Legal/Ledger) is for the larger size paper in the mixed page document. Note that a change to one custom Finishing edge setting adjusts other selections to make them compatible with the change. A gutter creates additional blank space on the left side and at the top of the sheet. It is often used for binding, hole punch or stapling to make a print job easier to read. Increasing the measurements in Gutter increases the margins around your text and graphics on the left side, or top of the printed sheet. This User Guide
