❒ Make option settings for the machine using the printer driver when bidirec-
tional communication is disabled.
❒ Be sure to set the paper size and paper orientation in the printer driver when
using duplex printing, combined printing (layout) or staple functions.
3
❒ The machine can have only one of the following installed at any one time: 500
Sheet Finisher, 1,000 Sheet Finisher
Note
❒ Depending on the application, print settings may not be enabled and printed
output may not be as expected.
❒ When setting Staple or Collate in the printer driver, make sure that the Collate
check box is cleared in the application's [Print] dialog box. If Collate is enabled
in the application, printing will not be as intended.
❒ When printing restarts after removing jammed paper, the printing position
may be different, depending on the location of the jam.
• If the paper jam occurred in the optional finisher, printing will restart from
the top page of the data currently being printed, or from the page where
the paper jam occurred.
• If the paper jam occurred in the machine, printing will restart from the
page where the paper jam occurred.
❒ Even if the paper jam occurred in the machine, the error will not be cleared
unless the cover of the finisher is opened and closed.

Stapling Precautions
Important
❒ Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher installed.
❖ Staple printing will be canceled under the following conditions:
• If the number of pages exceeds maximum for stapling.
• If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected.
• If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.
• If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.
3
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in the duplex mode and
the staple position.
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in the letterhead mode
and the staple position.
• If paper sizes are mixed when a different paper size is specified during a
print job.
• When feeding paper from the bypass tray.
• When staples have run out and [Auto Continue] is set (Printing will continue
without stapling after the message has been displayed).
• When only 1 page is printed.
• When staples have run out.
Note
❒ When the stapling is cancelled, “Staple has been cancelled.” appears.
❒ When printing on letterhead, stapling may not be at the specified position.
❒ When the finisher is being used for another function's job (for example, a copy
job), printing will start after that job ends.
❒ Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when stapling.
❒ When duplex printing is selected, adjust staple positions to the binding orien-
tation.
❒ Depending on the software you are using, print settings may not be saved
and the printed result may not be as expected.
❒ When setting Staple in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate op-
tion is not selected in the print settings of the application. If a collate option is
selected in the application, printing will not be as intended.
❒ When using the optional Finisher 500 unit, following paper sizes can be sta-
pled using the Mixed Size mode. (This function is not available when using
the optional Finisher 1000 unit.)

Other Print Operations
Collate
When printing multiple documents such as handouts for meetings, you can sep-
arate sets into order. This function is known as “Collate”. Collate stores data
transmitted from a computer to the printer memory or hard disk drive. The fol-
lowings are the three types of Collate:
Important
❒ If the optional hard disk is installed, you can specify up to 1,000 sheets per set
for Collate. If the optional hard disk is not installed, you can specify up to 200
sheets per set for Collate.
3
❒ If [Auto Continue] occurs on the first set, Collate will be canceled.
❒ If forced printing occurs on the first set, Collate will be canceled.
❒ When setting Collate in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate
option is not selected in the application's print settings. If a collate option is
selected, printing will not be as intended.
Note
❒ Set Collate and Rotating collate when using the RPCS printer driver.
❒ Follow the procedure below when using the printer driver other than the
RPCS:
• Set Collate and Rotating Collate in the printer driver.
• If you cannot make Shift Collate even with the optional finisher installed,
options may not be set up correctly in the printer driver. Correct the printer
driver's option settings.
• For details, see the printer driver Help.

Important
❒ The Rotating Collate function requires two paper trays containing same size
paper but in different orientations.
❒ If the output tray has shift function, Shift Collate will be applied even if Ro-
tating Collate is selected.
❖ When Rotating Collate is cancelled
If the following functions are selected, Collate or Shift Collate will be applied
even if Rotating Collate is selected:
• When combined with the staple function.
• If jobs containing pages of various sizes are set.
• When output tray is specified.
• When combined with the covers function.
• When combined with the slip sheet function.
• When combined with the chaptering function.
• If custom size paper is set.
Note
❒ When Rotating Collate has been selected, printing speed will be slower than
with other collate functions.
Shift Collate
The optional finisher is required for this function.
The finisher's shift tray moves backward or forward when a job is output, and
then it shifts to output the next set. Therefore, copies can be separated into per
set at a glance.

the Document Server
Accessing the Document Server
The Document Server enables you to store documents on the machine's hard
disk. You can also edit and print documents as you want.
Important
❒ Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this
function.
Note
❒ When you use the Document Server, the following functions can be selected
using the machine's control panel:
• Copies
• Collate
• Duplex
• Staple
• 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 3,000 files can be stored in the Document Server. No new files can be
stored after 3,000 is reached. Even if less than 3,000 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 de-
tails about deleting stored files, see General Settings Guide.
❒ When using the hard disk for functions other than those of Document Server,
you may not be able to store new files in the Document Server, even if there
are less than 3,000 files stored.
