Introduction
NOTE
The [Minimum filling level] setting is only applied when, on the printer control panel, the [Next
output tray] setting is set to [When tray is full] (under [System] -> [Setup] -> [Workflow profile] ->
[Output]).
Purposes
The [Minimum filling level] setting has the following purposes.
• Maximize the time that the printer can run unattended.
• Keep sets together.
Scenarios
The minimum filling level is a percentage of the specified maximum stack height. The following
scenarios can occur.
Scenarios to keep sets together
When Then
A job is completed before the minimum filling
level is reached
The next job is delivered to the same output
tray.
A job exceeds the minimum filling level The stack will be ejected after the job is ready.
A set is completed before the minimum filling
level is reached
The next set is delivered to the same output
tray.
A set exceeds the minimum filling level The controller calculates whether the next set
can be added to the stack.
If the total stack height, including the next set,
is still lower than the maximum stack height,
then the next set is added to the stack.
If the total stack height, including the next set,
will become higher than the maximum stack
height, then the next set is added to the next
output tray available. The stack will be ejected
after the current set is ready.
