Collating Copies
When printing multiple copies of a job, the output can be automatically collated. When copies 
are collated, they are printed in groups by the print job, not by the page. If you do not select the 
collate option, your copies will be printed by page. So, ten page number 1’s will print and then 
ten page number 2’s will print. Collated jobs will print all pages in sets, pages 1 through 10, 
until all sets have been printed.The default for Collating is On when there is more than one copy 
being printed.
To select collating through your Printer Properties:
1.Select the Main tab within your Printer Properties.

3.Click OK.

Document Style (2-Sided Printing/Duplex)
The printer can automatically print on both sides of paper when the optional Duplex module is 
installed. See“Paper Types” on page 2-6 for information about what paper cannot be duplexed.
With two-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book. You can use any 
paper size that duplex printing supports. The printer automatically reduces pages to fit within 
the pamphlet parameters. It prints two pages per side and prints the pages in the order needed to 
accommodate a center fold. You can specify the binding edge (see “Finishing” on page 4-12) to 
specify the room left for binding your book.

Poster Printing

the document in poster print. Poster Print prints the document to a full bleed (to the edges of

placed together, edge-to-edge, to create a large version of the print job.

Job Offset
The Offset Catch Tray can place sheets in alternate positions to separate one print job from 
another. This is called job offsetting. When selected, the output position changes after the final 
sheet of the print job is printed. The next job is offset (shifted a bit) to keep it separate from the 
previous print job. The Offset Catch Tray must be installed to use this option. Once installed, 
this feature is enabled by default.
To disable Job Offset through your Printer Properties:
1.Select the Main tab within your Printer Properties.
2.Select No Offset in the Finishing area

Printing on Special Paper
The printer can accommodate a variety of special paper such as Transparencies, Envelopes, 
Labels, Index cards, and Postcards. Each paper type requires some special handling. Prior to 
inserting the paper into the tray, read the sections in “Paper Types” on page 2-6 for each special 
paper type.
Settings in the Operator Panel and in your Printer Properties are required to specify the special 
paper loaded in the specified tray. Paper type settings must match those of the actual paper 
loaded in the trays. Otherwise, image quality cannot be processed accurately. Toner may not 
fuse properly on the paper, resulting in dirty and poor quality printouts. 
To select the special paper types through your Printer Properties:
1.Change media size at Operator Panel via the loaded tray’s Paper Menu’s Media size 
selection or using the EWS.
2.Select the Paper Type from the pulldown in the Paper tab within your Printer Properties. 
3.Ensure that the Paper Source is set to a paper tray that is loaded with the required paper.
