Sorter Mode Differences
Collating • Collating 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
printer pauses and displays a message to
remove the paper from the tray. After the
paper is removed, printing resumes for the
remaining number of copies.
• This function requires a hard disk installed in
the printer or a RAM disk. For setup
information, refer to RAM Disk Settings
on
page 20.
Non-collating
• Collating 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. If a
tray becomes full, the printer pauses and
displays a message to remove the paper
from the tray. In addition, the maximum
document page length must not exceed the
number of sorter trays. If a tray becomes full,
the printer pauses and displays a message
to remove the paper from the tray.
Mailbox
• The mailbox mode produces copies in
specified user trays, which is useful when
the printer is shared among different users.
For example, specifying tray 5 produces a
copy of the document in tray 5.
• If a tray becomes full, the printer pauses and
displays a message to remove the paper
from the tray.
