Print on Tab

If you load tab paper in the paper source, the POD Deck Lite-C1, or the Multi-drawer Paper Deck-C1 you can print onto the tabs on tab paper by using the Print on Tab mode.

* Area Shifted Out

IMPORTANT
This mode can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box. Only LTR originals can be used with the Print on Tab mode.

NOTE
When loading tab paper into the paper drawer, the Tab Feeding Attachment-F1 is required.

Press

(Main Menu) → [Access Stored Files] → [Mail Box].

Select the desired Mail Box → select the desired file → press [Print].

Press [Change Print Settings].

Press [Options] → [Print on Tab].

Press [Change] → select the paper source that contains tab paper → press [OK].

Set the print shift width (0" to 1" (0 mm to 25 mm)) by pressing [-] or [+] → press [OK].

NOTE
Make sure that the Number of Tabs shown on the touch panel display is the same as the number of tabs on the tab paper loaded in the paper source.

Press [Close].

NOTE
For instructions on loading tab paper into the drawer, the POD Deck Lite-C1, or the Multi-drawer Paper Deck-C1, see "Maintenance." For information on how to load tab paper into the paper drawer, see "Loading Tab Paper." If you are feeding tab paper from a paper drawer, the POD Deck Lite-C1, or the Multi-drawer Paper Deck-C1, you must register the paper type in the paper source as tab paper beforehand. (See "Registering the Paper Size and Type for a Paper Source.") When printing on tab paper, check that the position of the tabs is correct. If [Unprocessed Tab Paper Forced Output] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration) is set to 'On', the extra amount of tab paper sheets that were not required for the job are forced out of the machine. Example: If the number of tabs is set to 5 and the machine estimates that seven sheets of tab paper are needed for the print job, you must prepare two sets of tab paper each containing five tabs (10 total). Therefore, if the machine only uses seven tab paper sheets, three tab paper sheets will remain. Areas of images shifted outside the tab paper cannot be printed on the paper, and may cause the following prints to have black streaks or appear dirty. * Area Shifted Out
