ADVANCED PRINTING TECHNIQUES

Different Paper (Cover Sheet Printing)
The printer can print the first page of a document on different paper than that used for printing the
remaining pages. For example, company letterhead can be loaded in one paper tray and white
paper in another. The printer can then be instructed to print only the first page of a document on
the company letterhead. This feature is especially useful when printing multiple sorted copies of
documents.
Use paper stock of appropriate size and weight when using the ‘2-sided (Duplex)’ printing feature in conjunction with
‘Different Paper’ (Cover Sheet Printing). See the copier operation manual.
Transparency Inserts (Interleaves)
The printer can be instructed to insert an extra sheet between each page of a printed document.
This is most useful when printing onto transparencies. Transparency stock can be fed into the
bypass tray while white paper is loaded into another tray. The transparency inserts feature can then
be used to interleave a sheet of white paper between each sheet of transparency stock. The
separator page can either be left blank, or printed with the same information appearing on the
document page, effectively producing a ‘carbon copy’.
When using this feature, specify ‘blank’ or ‘printed’ for insert sheets and specify the ‘Paper Source’
for insert sheets.
Transparency stock should only be placed in the bypass tray.
Output
The printer can perform a variety of advanced output features, and can be configured to take full
advantage of optional finishers. If no optional finisher has been installed, documents can be output
to either the ‘top tray’ or the ‘second tray’. When using an optional finisher, be sure to set the
configuration under the Configuration tab or Device Options tab.
When an optional 2-tray finisher (AR-FN2) is installed, output can be directed to either the ‘top tray’
or the ‘offset tray’. Output directed to the ‘offset tray’ can be stapled.
When an optional 3-tray finisher (AR-FN1) is installed, output can be
directed to the ‘top tray’, ‘second tray’ or ‘offset tray’. Output directed
to the ‘offset tray’ can be stapled.
If the offset tray is selected, the printer will offset stack each print
set. However if the stapling feature is used, the offset stack feature
will not operate.
