[. . . ] First Edition (September 1999) The following paragraph does not apply to any country where such provisions are inconsistent with local law: LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL, INC. , PROVIDES THIS PUBLICATION "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not allow disclaimer of express or implied warranties in certain transactions; therefore, this statement may not apply to you. This publication could include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. Changes are periodically made to the information herein; these changes will be incorporated in later editions. [. . . ] The Collation - Collated Copies (QTY) setting also lets you collate copies of print jobs, but does not use the value of the Copies setting to determine how many copies to print. For example, if you set Collation - Collated Copies (QTY) to 2, your three-page job prints in the following page order: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. Note: When Collation - Collated Copies (QTY) is set to any value except Off, the printer ignores the value of the Collation setting. Paper handling 111 The printer Collation setting causes the operating system to handle the print job and all its collated copies as one single job. The Collation - Collated Copies (QTY) setting, on the other hand, causes the printer to handle each collated copy as a unique job. You can, if you choose, use software applications to collate print jobs, but because such applications resend the job for each copy you request, you may experience print time delays. In addition, multiple collated copies of very large jobs require huge amounts of disk space to buffer the job effectively. To ensure that the printer performs the collation function, set Collation On using the printer operator panel, and make sure collation is turned off in the software application and driver. Using separator sheets Use the Separator Sheets menu item on the Finishing Menu to insert blank pages between jobs or between copies. This feature is especially helpful when processing several collated documents. Use the Separator Source menu item to identify a specific paper source where you have loaded the paper you want to use as separator pages. Memory constraints Occasionally your printer may experience a memory shortage while printing a collated job. If this happens, the printer displays a 37 Insufficient Collation Area error message, pauses for a period of time, then continues to collate the job. Note: You must have previously set the Auto Continue menu item to On if you want the printer to continue printing after experiencing a memory shortage. If you frequently collate large print jobs, you can help avoid memory problems by installing an optional hard disk device. Remember, though, that if you partition the hard disk for job buffering, you can't use that particular storage area for collation. See "Managing memory" on page 164 for more information on memory usage and solving memory related problems. Paper handling 112 Duplexing If you've attached a duplex option, the Duplex menu item in the Finishing Menu lets you specify 1-sided (simplex) or 2-sided (duplex) pages. Taking advantage of duplex printing conserves paper and makes handling and storing hardcopy documents more convenient. You can print A3, A4, A5, B4, B5, executive, letter, 11x17, and legal size paper while using the printer's duplex feature. You cannot, however, print duplex jobs on Universal size paper. Binding duplexed jobs If you plan to bind your duplexed print job, use the Duplex Bind menu item on the Finishing Menu to indicate which side of the paper (Long Edge or Short Edge) to bind. The printer then offsets the printed text accordingly so your job can be bound correctly. Select Long Edge to bind pages along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait and top edge for landscape).

Support for bar codes, specialized graphics, and other options is included. The same data can be sent to several remote printers with different resident forms so that the completed forms can be customized for the specific printer location. For example, the same purchase order information can be sent to different printers and printed with different addresses and logos. [. . . ] Load paper in the staple priming source tray specified in the Finishing Menu. Refer to the User's Reference for instructions on removing and installing the stapler. Refer to the User's Reference for detailed instructions on clearing a staple jam. The stapler has a fixed position in the finisher, which determines the placement of the staple. [. . . ]
