each pin, before each print be sure to raise the pins over the thickness of the sheets; otherwise the sheets could become skewed.
NOTE: When printing multi-sheet N-UP on media that cannot be detected by the printer's media sensor (black, dark colored, reflective, or clear), the sheets in each row must be spaced equally.
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 (see Stored jobs on page 23 for details).
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 by carefully matching the dimensions of the image to the dimensions of the media sheets. Margins are defined for each print job by the RIP.
The image is positioned horizontally (left-right) as defined on the Printing screen, under the Options button.
“Incomplete” 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 row. Only the last row may have a different number of sheets.
For example: in a twenty-sheet job, you might be able to fit three sheets in each row, so you might 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.

If the optional roll-fed media supply and takeup system is installed on the printer, you can print on roll- fed media.
