The machine assembles copies as sets in sequential order.

Sort/Shift Sort

Copies are assembled as sets in sequential order.

To use Shift Sort, a finisher or high capacity stacker 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.

2Enter the number of copy sets using the number keys.

3Place the originals.

To confirm the type of finishing, press [Sample Copy].

4Press the [Start] key.

Note

  • 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 [Sharp] key. The time required for copy sets to be delivered varies depending on the print settings.

  • If the memory becomes full during scanning, a message prompting you to choose whether or not to copy the scanned pages is displayed. If you select [Print], the specified number of copies of scanned pages are printed. Leave the originals that are to be scanned on the exposure glass or in the ADF. They will be copied once all of the scanned pages are printed. If you select [Clear Memory], the whole job is canceled.

  • When the number of copies exceeds capacity, copying stops. If this happens, remove copies from the tray to resume copying.

  • For details about the number of copy sheets that the output tray can accommodate, and paper sizes and orientations that can be shifted when delivered to the shift tray, see "Specifications for Finisher SR5050", "Specifications for Finisher SR5110", "Specifications for Booklet Finisher SR5060", "Specifications for Booklet Finisher SR5120", or "Specifications for High Capacity Stacker", Specifications.

  • You can change the settings for the Sort function under [Input / Output] in User Tools. For details, see "Input / Output", Preparation.

  • To specify whether or not sets are shifted, use the [Output/ Cstmz.] tab or the [Input / Output] setting in User Tools. For details, see "Shift tray off in sort/stack", Sort, or "Input / Output", Preparation.
