Auto Dual Function in Group Mode
When more than 51 (*26) copies are to be grouped together into one group, the Sorter or Staple
Sorter uses the subsequent bin to continue grouping the copies.
Original
1st to 50th (*25th) copies
1st
51st (*26th) to subsequent copies
3rd to Nth: Same way up to the 20th (*10th)
Example: Using a 10-Bin Staple Sorter to separate copies made from 2 different originals into two
groups when each group contains 35 copies or more.
Copies of 1st original
1st Bin: 25
2nd Bin: 10
Copies of 2nd original
3rd Bin: 25
4th Bin: 10
Auto Dual Function in Non-Sort Mode
The capacity of the Non-Sort Bin (*1st Bin) is 100 (*50) in Non-Sort. If more than 100 (*50)
copies are made in Non-Sort, the Sorter uses the 1st (*2nd), 2nd (*3rd), and subsequent bins to
hold those excess copies.
To Make More Than 20 (*10) Copy Sets in Sort Mode
The maximum number of copy sets that can be sorted in a single copy run in Sort Mode is 20
(*10). If you need more copy sets than that, do this: first, enter the number of copy sets you need
from the 10-Key Pad and press the Start key. When the copier finishes making and sorting 20
(*10) copy sets, it temporarily stops. You now remove the copy sets from the bins, then load your
originals again and press the Start key. The copier resumes the copy job where it left off.
