3-bin mailbox
The optional 3-bin mailbox has one bin that stacks up to 500 sheets and two bins that stack up to
100 sheets each, for a total capacity of 700 sheets.
The 3-bin mailbox has three operating modes: mailbox mode, stacker mode, and function separator
mode. Each mode is explained in the sections that follow.
Mailbox mode
The bins can be assigned to a user or to a group of users. All print, copy, and fax jobs that an assigned
user or group of users sends are delivered to the designated bin. Each user can select the bin in the
printer driver or at the control panel.
When the designated bin is full, the MFP stops printing. Printing continues only when you empty the bin.
Stacker mode
The 3-bin mailbox can combine the bins to act as a stacker. It can stack up to 700 sheets of 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) paper. Jobs are sent to the bottom bin first, then to the middle bin, and then to the top bin.
Print jobs that require more than 500 sheets fill the bottom bin and continue stacking into the middle
and top bins.
When all three bins are full, the MFP stops printing. Printing continues only when you remove paper
from the top bin. The MFP does not resume printing if you remove paper from the bottom bin or the
middle bin before you remove paper from the top bin.
NOTE
Do not remove paper from the top bin and then attempt to put it in place again. This
causes the pages to stack in the incorrect order.
When the 3-bin mailbox is in stacker mode, you cannot designate that a job be sent to a particular bin.
Function-separator mode
You can configure the bins to receive jobs that come from a specific MFP function, such as printed jobs,
copy jobs, or faxes. For instance, you can specify that all copy jobs are sent to the top bin.
The MFP stops functioning when the designated bin is full. Printing, copying, or faxing can continue only
when you empty the bin.
