Covers/inserts
A different type of paper can be inserted in positions corresponding to front and back covers of a copy job when the
automatic document feeding function is used. A different type of paper can also be automatically added as an insert
at specified pages.
As an example, tabbed paper can be added as inserts at the beginning of chapters or at other pages to create an
indexed document.
● Covers/inserts can be disabled in the key operator programs (page 11 of the key operator's guide).

● Load the cover/insert paper in the tray before using the cover/insert function.
● Use the same size of paper for the covers/inserts as for the copies. (For the procedures for loading paper, see
pages 2-2 to 2-12.)
● Before selecting the cover/insert function, place the originals in the document feeder, select one-sided or two-
sided copying, and select the number of copies and any other desired copy settings as explained on pages
4-7 to 4-10. When these settings have been completed, perform the procedure to select covers/inserts on the
following page.
● The original must be scanned from the document feeder. The document glass cannot be used.
● Tabbed paper can be used for cover/ inserts, however, two-sided copying cannot be performed on the tabbed
paper. Tabbed paper can fed from the bypass tray, tray 3, and the inserter. The other trays cannot be used.
● Up to 100 covers/inserts can be inserted. Two covers/inserts cannot be inserted between the same pages.
● Pamphlet copying cannot be used in combination with covers/inserts.
