Using the Creep Adjustment Function

You can print a document using the creep adjustment function.

Depending on the printer you are using, this function may not be available.

What Is "Creep"?

When using the Magazine format to perform 2 sided printing the entire stack is folded in half, which makes the binding area more difficult to see the further the pages are from center. The Creep function lets you narrow the binding area of center pages and widen the binding area of outer pages, making the binding area of the outer pages more visible .
