Sort

The machine assembles copies as sets in sequential order.

Important

  • To use the Rotate Sort function, two paper trays loaded with paper of the same size and type, but in different orientation (PortraitLandscape), are required.

  • You cannot use the bypass tray with Rotate Sort.

Sort/Shift Sort

Copies are assembled as sets in sequential order.

To use Shift Sort, the optional Shift sort tray is required. Each time the copies of one set or a job are delivered, the next copy is shifted to separate each set or job.
