Multiple Sheet Printing

Multiple-sheet N-UP allows you to print a multiple-copy job on multiple sheets across the belt, and multiple rows of sheets, until the job is completed.

To print multi-sheet N-UP, load multiple sheets on the printer, then send a print job from the RIP with a quantity greater than or equal to the number of sheets you loaded. The printer will prompt you to load more sheets until the number of copies you specified has been printed. You can also print Stored Jobs as multi-sheet N-UP.

Margins

This type of printing works best with an image that has wide margins on all four edges, but edge-to- edge printing is also possible with the appropriate printer settings, and by carefully matching the dimensions of the image to the dimensions of the media sheets.

When printing a multi-sheet N-UP job, the image is positioned horizontally (left-to-right) as defined under the menu option: Printer Settings￿ Margin Settings ￿ Margins.

Uneven Rows

You can print any number of copies in a multi-sheet N-UP job, even if the total number does not divide evenly into the number of sheets per rom. Only the last row may have a different number of sheets.

For example: in a twenty-sheet job, you may be able to fit three sheets in each row, so you may print six rows of three sheets, plus one row of two sheets (6x3=18, 1x2=2, 18+2=20). If the last row is a partial row, load the sheets from the user end toward the service end.
