Proof Printing

This mode enables you to output the entire print set or a single set to another output tray while printing a copy/print job. This mode is useful when you want to check the output several times while making a large amount of copies/prints.
IMPORTANT
This mode is available only if you set to make multiple copies/prints in the Collate, Offset Collate, or Staple mode.
This button appears when the Staple Finisher-W PRO, the Booklet Finisher-W PRO, the Staple Finisher-AC, the Booklet Finisher-AC, or the High Capacity Stacker-H is attached.
