Sorter Modes
There are three sorter modes to choose from. These modes are selected in the
Basic tab:
•
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 printing system 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 printing system or

a RAM Disk. For setup information, refer to
•
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. If a tray becomes full, the printing system
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 printing system
pauses and displays a message to remove the paper from the tray.

•
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.
•
If a tray becomes full, the printing system pauses and displays a
message to remove the paper from the tray.
•
Mailbox is not available on all printing system models.
•
Mailbox is a physical mailbox and is different from Virtual Mailbox
