Multibin Unit Features

Using the Multibin Unit

This optional output unit with 10 bins, each with a capacity of 100 sheets, can be used in four ways; as a mailbox, a sorter, a multiple sorter, or a large capacity stacker. Consult your administrator to set the output mode of the unit.

Note:

You cannot print on labels, envelopes, or transparencies with the Multibin Unit.

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

The optional Large Capacity Paper Unit must be installed when attaching the optional Multibin Unit.

Changing the output mode too frequently could cause confusion and should be avoided.

Before changing the output mode, always consult your printer's administrator and inform all other users of the changes.

Have your administrator select the output mode, such as Mailbox, Sorter, Multisort or Stacker, in the SelecType Setup menu on the printer's control panel.

Multibin Unit mode

Using as a mailbox

The mailbox mode allows each bin to be assigned to an individual or department.

When in the mailbox mode, if bin 1 (the first bin from the top) is assigned to you, you always need to select bin 1 as your output tray in the printer driver when sending a job to this printer.

Make sure all users know who uses which bin. To avoid confusion, write the name of each user next to the corresponding bin on the numbered strip. Open the clear plastic cover to access the numbered strip.

Using as a sorter

You can use the Multibin Unit as a sorter, like those on copiers. In this mode, you can print a total of ten copies for each print job, one copy in each bin. To print more than ten copies at a time, use the Multiple Sorter mode (see the following explanation).

Using as a multiple sorter

When the Stacker is set to +Face-down in Selectype Setup menu, the Multiple Sorter mode expands the capabilities of the Sorter mode by ejecting multiple copies of a print job into each bin. This allows you to print more than ten copies of a print job at a time, up to one thousand sheets.

If you do not have enough installed memory, only one copy will be printed. Install the optional Memory module or Hard Disk Drive. If this does not rectify the memory problem, either reduce the amount of data in the print job, or lower the print resolution to 300 dpi.

Using as a stacker

When the Stacker is set to +Face-down in the SelecType Setup menu, the Multibin Unit can function as an additional Output tray, in combination with the standard face-down tray. This combination allows you to print 1500 sheets in total.
