❖ Rotating Collate

Every other print set is rotated by 90 degrees K.

AEU017S

❖ Shift Collate

(The optional finisher is required for this function.)

The finisher shift tray moves backward or forward when a job or set is output,

causing the next to shift, so you can separate them.

AEU018S

6. Using the Document Server

Accessing the Document Server

The Document Server enables you to store documents on the machine's hard

disk, allowing you to edit and print as and when you want.

Limitation

❒ Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this

function.

Reference

For more information about Document Server functions, see General Settings

Guide.

For information about how to access Document Server from a client, see the

printer driver Help.

Note

❒ When you use the Document Server, the following functions can be selected

using the machine's control panel:

• Copies

• Collate

• Duplex

• Staple

• Punch

• Paper selection: Paper source tray, paper type, paper output tray.

• Functions related to paper selection: Cover Sheet, Slip Sheet.

❒ The above items are dimmed, so you cannot set them from the printer prop-

erties dialog box when the Document Server is selected.

❒ You must enter a user ID, using up to eight alphanumeric characters.

❒ You should enter a Password and File Name to distinguish the job from others.

❒ Up to 2,000 files can be stored in the Document Server. No new files can be

stored after 2,000 is reached. Even if less than 2,000 files are stored, new files

cannot be stored when

• a file to be stored contains more than 1,000 pages,

• the total number of pages contained in files stored exceeds 9,000,

• the hard disk is full.

❒ The Document Server also stores files scanned using the Automatic Docu-

ment Feeder (ADF) or exposure glass. You should delete unnecessary stored

files once in a while so as not to exceed the capacity of the hard disk. For how

to delete stored files, see General Settings Guide.

❒ When using the hard disk for functions other than those of Document Server,

you may be unable to store new files in the Document Server, even if there are

less than 2,000 files stored.
