2.4 FEATURES
2.4.1 SORTING
If “Collate” is turned on and a multicopy job is printed, the first copy of the job will
be printed directly. At the same time, the image data for the copy job is stored in
the hard disk of the main machine. When the main machine prints the next copy,
the next copy will be printed from the hard disk.
If the finisher is not installed, the rotate sort feature can be used. The MSU block in
the BICU board rotates the image, in the same way as image rotation for the
copier.
2.4.2 DUPLEX PRINTING
Duplex printing is available with all output bin options but not all paper sizes (refer
to the specifications section of the copier manual). If a job specifies duplex but the
paper size to be used is not usable in the duplex unit, the job will be printed
simplex.
Duplex printing is available in two binding methods: Short-edge binding and Long-
edge binding.
In short-edge binding, when printing the second side of a page, the image may
require rotation. The image is rotated by the co-processor in the printer controller.
The co-processor corrects the image printing order for duplexing as follows.
