Specifying the Output Tray for Preprinted Paper

You can specify which output tray to output preprinted paper to. Specifying the output tray for each function can reduce the time needed to search for the output paper. You can also specify the output tray priority when multiple output trays are specified for the same function.


This setting is available only if your machine has multiple output trays.

Available Functions by Device Configuration and Output Tray

Device Configuration	Available Functions by Output Tray and Default Priority	Tray Location
Staple Finisher-AF and High Capacity Stacker-J or Booklet Finisher-AF and High Capacity Stacker-J	<Tray A> 1 Access Stored Files, 1 Printer, 2 Other <Tray B> 2 Access Stored Files, 2 Printer, 3 Other <Tray C> 1 Other


If a certain tray reaches its stacking limit, the machine automatically uses another tray that is designated for the same function.


The priority order of the output trays is determined by the order of the selected output trays. The priority is displayed as "1," "2," and "3." Select <Other> when printing reports. Paper may not be output to the output tray specified with this setting, depending on the paper that is used and the finishing functions that are set. The paper sizes that can be output to each output tray differ according to the device configuration. For details, see Optional Equipment. When an output tray that does not support the Offset mode is selected in the output tray setting, the prints will not be output to the output tray according to the specified settings if <Offset> is enabled. Perform one of the procedures below to solve this problem. Specify an output tray that supports the Offset mode in the output tray settings. Manually disable <Collate> before executing the job. <Tray Home Position> may be able to be set, depending on the finisher that is attached. The tray movement time can be reduced by having the specified tray wait at a position close to the paper outlet. It is recommended that you specify a tray with frequently used functions with high priority set. When <Off> is selected, the output tray stops at the position where the print operation finishes.
