Outputting to the Multibin Unit

To output to the Multibin Unit
Using the Multibin Unit

The optional Multibin Unit has 10 mailboxes, each capable of holding 45 pages of printed documents. Only A4 and Letter size documents can be output to the unit. Each mailbox can be given an individual assignment, to a person or a department. When outputting to the Multibin Unit you select the mailbox number. One is the number for the first mailbox from the top, and your printout goes directly to the private mailbox. You can output to a mailbox, and lock it to prevent other people from retrieving the printout.

Note:

The Multibin Unit cannot be installed at the same time as the Shifter.

Be careful not to output too many documents to a particular mailbox. Doing so may cause a paper jam in the Multibin Unit.

Your Administrator should control the use of passwords, and take care of paper jams in the Multibin Unit.

To output to the Multibin Unit

After installing the optional Multibin Unit, you can use it by accessing the printer driver or through the SelecType menu. Access Out Bin and select any of the one through 10 mailboxes. When making these selections, it is also possible to lock the mailbox and assign it a 4-digit password, without which the printouts in the tray are not accessible.

Note:

Printouts other than A4 or Letter size are output to the face-down tray even if they are directed to the Multibin Unit. Be especially careful when printing confidential materials.

Using the Multibin Unit

If the mailbox one, the first from the top, is assigned to you, only you have access to the printouts output to the mailbox through your confidential password. You can also send printouts to your own mailbox. This is a valuable feature if you are not able to immediately retrieve your document from the output tray. To do this you need to select your own mailbox in the printer driver or the Mail Box Menu of SelecType.

Passwords used for opening the mailboxes are programmed into the printer. To access a particular mailbox, press the Open button on the Multibin Unit. The LED lights on the front of the Multibin Unit light up indicating the mailboxes that do not have their passwords enabled, and Open Mailbox is displayed on the LCD panel. Those mailboxes can be opened without a password. To open mailboxes that have their passwords enabled, press the Open button. Enter Password = XXXX is displayed on the Control Panel. Enter the password using the eight buttons on the Control Panel. The Xs will be replaced with - (hyphens). If the password is correct, you can open the mailbox. Take out your documents and close the mailbox. If you don't open the mailbox, it's locked again automatically in 20 seconds after pressing the Open button. If no mailboxes have their passwords enabled, Enter Password = XXXX is not displayed.

Enabling and Disabling Passwords

You can use the Mail Box Menu of SelecType to set passwords for the mailboxes in the Multibin Unit. The mailbox passwords can be set to Enable (locked) or Disable (unlocked).
