booklets) and Set Up (Center 

– no tabs).

Once the Tab Size Switch has been moved off Set 
Up to a tab size, pressing the key pad selects the 
tabs to be run as well as their general location on the 
piece.  There are three buttons per Tab Head - one 
for the lead edge, the center and the trail edge.   
 
A typical booklet setting will call for two tabs to be 
selected on one head (lead and trail) and one on the 
opposite (trail).  To do a Booklet, use 1.5 inch tabs.
