Sorter Mode Description
Collate mode The collate mode delivers the output pages by copy as
shown in the example. This mode is useful when you
need several independent copies of a document.
The maximum number of copies is 5. If a tray becomes
full (approximately 200 pages), the printer pauses and
indicates the Option tray # paper full
message. Then, you will need to remove all the printed
pages from the tray indicated by # in the message.
In the example, three copies of a document of 200 pages
long are made, and each copy is stacked in trays 1, 2,
and 3, respectively.
Group mode The group mode delivers 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 tray.
The maximum number of copies is 200. If a tray
becomes full (200 pages), the printer pauses and
indicates the Option tray # paper full
message. Then, you will need to remove all the printed
pages from the tray indicated by # in the message.
In the example, we make 200-copy stacks of ea ch page
of an 4-page long document.

tray you specify on the printer driver.

the Option tray # paper full message and pauses
until you remove all the pages in the sorter tray
