Setting the Finishing Edge
To set a finishing edge, follow these steps.

In the Basic tab, set Print size and Page size to the same size.
2
In the Basic tab, in the Source list 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 not available 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 and Staple 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.

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 to open the Custom Finishing
Edge Settings dialog box. Select one of the settings. The illustrations in the
dialog box help you visualize the page alignments.

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.
