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 optional roll-away cart 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.
