Connecting and Using a Second Stacker

This section explains how to connect and use a second stacker.

If you install a second stacker, paper collection can continue without interruption when the first stacker becomes full. While one stacker is collecting paper, you can unload and reload the handcart of the other stacker.

To switch output trays automatically, "Output Tray" must be set to [Auto Change] in [Output Tray Setting] under System Settings.
When a second stacker is installed and "Output Tray" is set to [Auto Change], the output tray will change automatically in the following cases:
- Whenever the receiving stacker becomes full and the other stacker tray is empty.
- If the settings of the receiving stacker are changed from the receiving main control panel or a connected computer and the other stacker tray is empty.
- If "Multi-job Output Method to Stacker" is set to [Do not Stack Jobs] and the other stacker tray is empty when a new job begins.

Even if "Output Tray" is set to [Auto Change], output stops if the other stacker tray is not empty.
If a paper jam occurs when a second stacker is installed, the Paper Jam button of the stacker in which the paper jam occurred lights red.
