    The optional finisher is required for this function.

    The finisher shift tray moves backward or forward when a job or set is output, causing the next to shift, so you can separate them.

If the following functions are selected, Collate or Shift Collate will be applied even if Rotating Collate is selected:

  • When combined with staple function.

  • When combined with punch function.

  • If jobs containing pages of various sizes are set.

  • When output tray is specified.

Separation Sheet
