If you install an option mailbox/sorter, you can have your printouts automatically sorted in
three different ways when printing multiple copies. The three methods are:
•
Sorter mode
The sorter receives a complete set of a document starting from the top tray.
•
Collator mode
The sorter receives all copies of the same page in each tray starting from the top tray.
•
Mailbox mode
The sorter receives all copies of the same page in each tray starting from the bottom tray.
These modes are depicted in

which follows:
The sorter mode sorts the output pages by copy as shown in
the example. This mode is useful when you need several
independent copies of a document.
1
The maximum number of copies is 9. If a tray becomes full
(approximately 200 pages), the printer pauses and indi-
2
cates the Option tray # paper full message. You
3
will need to remove all the printed pages from the tray indi-
cated by # in the message.
4
In the example, four copies of a document of 50 pages long
are printed, and each copy is stacked in trays 1, 2, 3, and 4,
5
respectively.
.....
The collator mode sorts the output pages by page as shown
in the example. When multiple copies of a file are printed,
all copies of a single page are delivered together to a single
1
tray. A typical use of this mode is in printing material to be
distributed at a meeting.
2
The maximum number of copies is 200. If a tray becomes
3
full (200 pages), the printer pauses and indicates the
Option tray # paper full message. Then, you
4
will need to remove all the printed pages from the tray indi-
cated by # in the message.
5
In the example, we make 200-copy stacks of each page of
.....
an 4-page long document.
