Sort

The machine assembles copies as sets in sequential order.

To use the Rotate Sort function, two paper trays loaded with paper of the same size and type, but in different orientation () are required. See “System Settings”, Network and System Settings Reference.
You cannot use the bypass tray with Rotate Sort.

Sort/Shift Sort

Copies are assembled as sets in sequential order.

To use Shift Sort, a finisher or the internal shift 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.

Every other copy set is rotated by 90 degrees () and delivered to the copy tray.

If you are copying from the exposure glass, a single copy of each original is made first. If the first copy set is acceptable, you can make the remaining copy sets by pressing the [] key. The time required for copy sets to be delivered varies depending on the print settings.
When placing originals on the exposure glass, start with the first page to be copied. When placing originals in the ADF, set so that the first page is on the top.
When placing originals on the exposure glass, or in the ADF using Batch mode, press the [] key after all the originals have been scanned.
You can change the settings for the Sort function under Input / Output in User Tools. For details, see “Input / Output”.
