When you print a large number of copies, use of the Proof Print function will prevent a large number of misprints being created, thereby reducing the amount of waste paper generated. For details, refer to Here.
When multiple sets of copies are printed, the paper output position of each set is staggered to help you locate the first page of each set.
When the [Collate] check box in [Output Method] is selected, copies are output in a set-by-set manner, for example, "Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5", "Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5", and then "Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5". When the [Offset] check box is selected, the sets are output in staggered layers.
When you select both [Collate] and [Offset] check boxes, the output position is staggered for each set, allowing you to easily prepare handouts.
The Proof Print function is used when printing multiple copies. It allows the printer to output one copy and pause the printing operation before printing the remaining copies.
Because you can check the print result before starting printing the remaining copies from the Touch Panel, this function is helpful to prevent a lot of misprints.
In [Output Method:] in the [Output Method] window, select [Proof Print].
