The sorter mode sorts 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 9. If a tray becomes full (approximately 200 pages), the printer pauses and indi- cates the Sorter tray # paper full message. You will need to remove all the printed pages from the tray indi- cated by # in the message.

In the example, four copies of a document of 50 pages long are printed, and each copy is stacked in trays 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

Collator mode

200 copies of page 1

200 copies of page 2

200 copies of page 4

The collator mode sorts 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. A typical use of this mode is in printing material to be distributed at a meeting.

The maximum number of copies is 200. If a tray becomes full (200 pages), the printer pauses and indicates the Sorter tray # paper full message. Then, you will need to remove all the printed pages from the tray indi- cated by # in the message.

In the example, we make 200-copy stacks of each page of an 4-page long document.

Mailbox mode

The mailbox mode simply stacks the printed pages into the sorter’s trays without sorting the pages in any way, starting from the bottom tray and going to the top tray. When the top tray becomes full, the printer indicates the Sorter tray # paper full message and pauses until you remove all the pages in the tray indicated by # in the mes- sage. In this way, you can print a large job up to approxi- mately 1,000 pages without interrupting the printing process.

The example shows the sorter having received approxi- mately 600 pages in the mailbox mode.
