Finishing Edge
Finishing edge aligns the matching sides of two different page sizes in a
document. For example, the long edge of an A4 page is aligned with the short
edge of an A3 page; or the short edge of a letter size page is aligned with the
short edge of a legal size page. Finishing edge can be used with or without the
staple feature.
You can choose the position of staples in a document composed of mixed page
sizes. In contrast, if you are printing a mixed page size document without using
Finishing edge, staple positions depend on the paper size settings (portrait or
landscape) in the paper cassettes.
Finishing edge should be selected before any other features in the Finishing
tab. If set last, Finishing edge might change any settings that you previously
made under Staple.
Selecting Finishing edge makes some other features unavailable, such as
Separation and Rotated. Finishing edge cannot be used with the Poster
feature.
