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. For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.

You can use this function on Type 1, 2, or 3 machines only.

Note

  • For details about how to configure the source tray setting for separation sheets, see "Cover/Designation/Slip/Separation Sheet", Preparation.

  • 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.

  • Separation sheets are not inserted if the separation sheet setting and the staple function 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.
