Advanced Features

When using the Custom Paper Tray, certain requirements and limitations need to be observed:

a.The dimensions of the paper used must be within certain ranges, depending on which tray position (1, 2, 3) is used for the Custom Tray.

Tray Location	Minimum Width	Maximum Width	Minimum Length	Maximum Length
Tray 1	8.5 in. (216 mm)	11.69 in. (297 mm)	5.5 in. (140 mm)	17 in. (431 mm)
Tray 2	8.5 in. (216 mm)	11.69 in. (297 mm)	7.17 in. (182 mm)	17 in. (431 mm)
Tray 3	8.5 in. (216 mm)	11.69 in. (297 mm)	7.17 in. (182 mm)	17 in. (431 mm)

"Length" represents the dimension of the paper from left-to-right and "Width" represents the dimension of the paper from front-to-back, as viewed when facing the printer from the front. If you attempt to use paper with a width smaller than the listed minimum, a message, Invalid Tray Size is Installed, will display at the printer’s control panel and the paper will not feed from that tray.

b.As mentioned above, the printer’s PDL (PostScript, PCL5e, PCL6) and driver software can format printed images only to the standard paper sizes supported by the standard paper trays. For this reason, when specifying the paper size at the printer’s control panel and within the printing application, it is necessary to select the standard paper size that is closest in dimension to the non-standard size used (usually the next largest standard size) to ensure that the full output image will be printed. It may also be necessary to adjust the page margins within the application to ensure that the printed image will not exceed the physical dimensions of the paper used.

Offsetting Output

You can have output offset when you select the Face-down bin or the Finisher as the output destination. (The optional face-up bin does not support offsetting.) Offsetting occurs between successive jobs or between collated copies of a single job.

You can switch offsetting on or off via the control panel (using the Output Offset menu item on the System menu) or via CentreWare DP and CentreWare IS.

Offsetting occurs between jobs only if:

■Both jobs are destined for the same bin.

For example, a print job may contain a banner sheet in PCL that precedes a PostScript print job. If they are both directed to the Face-down Bin, the banner sheet is offset from the PostScript job. If the banner sheet is directed to the Face-up Bin (no offset capability) and the PostScript job is directed to the Face-down Bin, offset does not occur between the banner sheet and the PostScript job. However, when the next job is directed to the Face-down Bin, offset occurs between the PostScript job and the next job.

■The jobs contain data that results in a sheet being printed and delivered to the bin. For example, if a PCL job contains <ESCAPE>E sequences at the beginning of a job and there is no printable data separating these commands, the offset does not occur (even though these escape sequences are valid job boundaries).
