Detail Type for each Folding Type

Saddle Fold
Specify "Print Side" and "Multiple Fold".

• "Multiple Fold" is available when a saddle finisher (100-sheet stapling) is installed on the machine.
• The Multiple Fold function folds five sheets at a time. For example, if an original has 12 A4 size plain sheets, they are folded three times in total: 5 sheets + 5 sheets + 2 sheets.
  However, some types of paper reduces the number of sheets that are folded every set. For example, heavy paper is folded on a three-sheet basis.
