Sorter Modes
There are three sorter modes available. These modes are selected in the
Basic
tab:
Collating
•
Collating in sorter mode produces the specified number of copies as
complete sets of documents in each tray.
•
The document is printed following the page order and received in
each tray. The number of document copies must not exceed the
number of trays. If a tray becomes full, the printing system pauses
and shows a message to remove the paper from the tray. After the
paper is removed, printing resumes for the remaining number of
copies.
Non-collating
•
Non-collating mode produces the specified number of copies but
divides the document for output in each tray, with page 1 in tray 1,
page 2 in tray 2, and so on. For example, printing 20 copies of a four
page document using grouping produces 20 copies of page 1 in tray
1, 20 copies of page 2 in tray 2, and so on.
•
The number of document copies must not exceed the sheet
capacity of any tray. When a tray reaches capacity, the printing
system pauses and shows a message to remove the paper from the
tray. In addition, the maximum document page length must not
exceed the number of sorter trays. When a tray reaches capacity,
the printing system pauses and shows a message to remove the
paper from the tray.
Mailbox
•
The mailbox mode sends copies to specified user trays, which is
useful when the printing system is shared among different users.
For example, specifying tray 5 sends the printed document to tray 5.
•
When a tray reaches capacity, the printing system pauses and
shows a message to remove the paper from the tray.
•
Mailbox is not available on all printing system models.
•
Mailbox is a physical mailbox.
