Saving a Group for Printing from a Computer

  1. Open the print screen of your application software.

  2. Open the More Options tab on the printer properties screen.

  3. Select Print Sets, and then click Settings.

  4. Set the number of copies and sets in Group (copies x sets).

    For example, if you wanted to print handouts for four classes (Class 1: 30 students, Class 2: 31 students, Class 3: 32 students, Class 4: 30 students) in a school, you would make the following settings.

    If multiple classes need the same quantity, you can group them together by changing the number of sets (set count). For example, if Group 01 and Group 04 shown above both need the same amount, set Group 01's set count to 2 instead of setting up Group 04 separately.

  5. Use Sort to set the printing order.

    Selecting Collated will collate each copy in page order.

    Selecting Uncollated will produce copies grouped by page.

  6. In Group Separator Sheet, you can configure insert sheets (separator sheets).

    Note:

    This function cannot be used in combination with 90-degree rotation (Step 7).

    If you select Each Set, the slip sheets are inserted in units of (A). If you select Each Group, the slip sheets are inserted in units of (B).

    Specify the Paper Source that contains the sheets to be used as slip sheets.

  7. Group Rotate Sort allows you to output pages alternately between vertical and horizontal.

    Note:

    Two paper sources are used. Load paper in the portrait orientation in one paper source and in the landscape orientation in the other paper source, and then select Auto Select as the Paper Source setting on the Main tab.

    This function cannot be used simultaneously with slip sheet insertion (Step 6).

    If you select Each Set, it rotates 90 degrees in units of (A). If you select Each Group, it rotates 90 degrees in units of (B).

    Also, when the optional staple finisher is installed, you can use Group Shift Sort to shift the paper during output. The unit for shift output is configured in the same way as for 90-degree rotation.

  8. Once all settings have been completed, click OK to close the group print settings screen.

  9. Configure the settings on the Main, Finishing, and More Options tabs on the printer properties screen.
