Identifying and linking output bins

There is one standard output bin on all printer models. If you need additional output capacity, the optional finisher provides up to 3500 sheets of additional output capacity.

The following table provides information on output bin capacities.

Linking output bins

If you have multiple output bins, linking them lets you create a single output source so the printer can automatically switch output to the next available bin. For more information on the values available to configure your output bins, see the Menus and Messages Guide.

Note: The bin sequence for linking always starts with the standard bin and proceeds from the bin nearest to the floor to the bin farthest from the floor.

To link output bins:

1Press on the operator panel.

2Press until Paper Menu appears, and then press .
