About the explanations of covers and 
inserts
There are various ways of using covers and inserts. To 
keep the explanations simple, covers and inserts are 
explained separately. For specific examples, see 
"Examples of covers and inserts" (page 2-144).
Preparations for using covers and inserts
• Load the cover/insert paper in the tray before using the cover/insert function.
• Before selecting the cover/insert function, place the originals in the document feeder tray, select 1-sided or 2-sided 
copying, and select the number of copies and any other desired copy settings. When these settings have been 
completed, perform the procedure to select covers/inserts.
• The originals must be scanned using the automatic document feeder. The document glass cannot be used.
• For covers, only one sheet can be inserted for the front cover and only one sheet can be inserted for the back cover. 
For inserts, up to 100 sheets can be inserted. Note that two insert sheets cannot be inserted between the same two 
pages.
• When performing 2-sided copying of 2-sided originals, an insert cannot be inserted between the front and reverse 
sides of an original.
