Using the Finisher
Chapter 3: Printing ❖3-43
Paper OutputException Conditions
If a bin is not available, sets are directed to an available
bin. The new bin is used until the original requested
finisher bin is emptied.
It is possible to send a combination of commands to select
an output destination or feature that cannot be processed
by the printer. Table3.8 describes printer operations when
these exceptions occur.
