The setting for <Output Remaining Pages from Other Device If Err.> is only valid when <Finishing> is set. Even if you set <Output Remaining Pages from Other Device If Err.> to <On>, the remaining prints will not be passed in the following cases: If the originals for cascade copy are being scanned If you are using <Front Cover> and <Insert Sheets> in combination when performing cascade copy If you are using <Different Size Originals>, Automatic Paper Selection, and <2-Sided> in combination when performing cascade copy If cascade copying is stopped on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine that the remaining prints were passed to If an error occurs on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine that the remaining prints were passed to If the cascade copy job is near completion If the scanning time of the originals for the cascade copy job is long If you are using the Copy Set Numbering mode in combination with the Cascade Copy mode If you set <Output Remaining Pages from Other Device If Err.> to <On>, printing is not performed by the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine in which the error occurred, even after the machine is restored.
