Source

  • Source specifies the tray or cassette that supplies paper for a print job

  • The default is Auto source selection, which instructs the printer to search for the media requested by the application or the printer driver

  • If the selected tray or cassette empties during a print job, then the printer searches for another source, and continues the job

  • Some media types, such as transparencies, labels, and envelopes must be supplied from the Multipurpose tray

  • Ensure that the paper is properly loaded by following the instructions outlined in the printing system's Operation Guide

Source and Media type are separate items in the dialog box, but can be combined using the Combine source and media type lists setting in Device Settings > Compatibility

  • If they are combined, Media type is unavailable on the Basic tab, and media types can be selected in the Source list

Carbon Copies

This feature lets you print additional copies on paper from different trays or cassettes. This is useful for printing copies of documents such as invoices on different colored paper or media type. The maximum number of copies can be printed for each carbon copy

  • You can use the Prologue/Epilogue feature in the Advanced tab to add a logo or heading to each carbon copy

  • When Carbon copies is selected, Booklet in the Layout tab, and all the features on the Publishing tab are unavailable

  • Carbon copies is unavailable when Net Manager is selected in Device Settings > Administrator > Net Manager

Collate

Collate specifies the order in which the pages of a multiple copy job are printed.

With On selected, the first time the print job is sent to the printing system the data is rendered as page images in the printing system's memory. The remaining job copies are printed from the stored data. This avoids the extra processing involved in sending every copy from the computer to the printing system.

With On selected, the driver prints the complete job set by set (123, 123).

With Off selected, it prints each page by set (111, 222). For example, with On selected, three copies of a five-page document outputs as pages one through five in succession, three times.

The printer driver automatically overrides the application's Collate setting and uses the printer driver setting. You can use the application's Collate setting by clearing the Ignore application collation check box in the Compatibility Settings dialog box accessed from Device Settings.
