Punch
The Punch feature is available on printing systems with an optional finishing device
installed. This feature places hole punches along the edge of the printed pages, so
that the pages can be bound together or placed in a binder. Punch cannot be used
when Booklet is selected in the Layout tab.
Note: Not all finishing devices support the punch feature. For further details, refer to
Installing Optional Devices on page 2-1.
