Separation Sheet

When printing and sorting multiple copies of a document such as a handout for a meeting, you can use this function to insert a separation sheet between each set of a specified number of copies.

If the PCL 6 printer driver is used, separation sheet can be specified in the [Output Settings] menu on the [Detailed Settings] tab. If the PCL 5c printer driver is used, it can be specified in the [Setup] tab. For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.

Note

  • If the information icon (Icon illustration / Icon illustration) is displayed next to the "Insert Separation Sheet" check box, you cannot specify separation sheet function. Click the information icon (Icon illustration / Icon illustration) to check why collate function is unavailable.

  • For details about how to configure the source tray setting for separation sheets, see "Tray Paper Settings", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.

  • If you are printing only one copy of a document, or if the collate function is disabled, no separation sheets will be inserted, regardless of the separation sheet setting.

  • The separation sheet function is not available if the punch function is specified. If both are specified, punch holes are made only in the main pages and not in the separation sheets.

  • Separation sheets are not inserted if the separation sheet setting and the staple function other than center staple are specified at the same time.

  • If the separation sheet function and the chapter page function are both specified, the separation sheet will be inserted in front of the chapter slip sheet.

  • If the separation sheet function and the cover page function are both specified, the separation sheet will be inserted in front of the cover page.

  • If the separation sheet function and the shift collate function are both specified, the sheets will be shift collated before the separation sheets are inserted.

  • If the separation sheet function and the rotate sort function are both specified, only the main pages are rotated. The separation sheets are not rotated.

  • A separation sheet is not inserted before the first set of prints if the separation sheet and sample print functions are specified at the same time.
