●When Mailbox Mode is used, each bin is assigned to a user or group of users. Every time a user sends a print job, the job is routed to the assigned bin.

●When Stacker Mode is used and the optional 3-bin stapler/stacker is installed, the three bins act as a single bigger bin. When one bin gets full, jobs are automatically routed to the next bin. When Stacker Mode is used and the booklet maker finisher is installed, the two upper bins act as a single bin, and the third bin is reserved for booklets.

●When Function Separator (3-bin stapler/stacker only) mode is used, each bin is assigned to a specific kind of job. Usually this designation is bin 1 for copies, bin 2 for fax, and bin 3 for printing. These values can be modified in the Default Job Options menus for copy, fax, and print.

NOTE: Use the product embedded Web server to assign output bins to users or groups of users. For more information see Embedded Web server on page 178.
