    [Misc] Offset each printjob

    Hello,

    I have a Kyocera TASKalfa 300i without a finisher, and have a question regarding offset settings.

    I'd like to offset each 8.5 x 11 printjob, so that if two people print right after one another, the second person's printjob is offset from the first person's.

    Currently, trays one and two are filled with 8.5 x 11 paper, with tray two being rotated.

    I have successfully set up the machine to offset while copying, and this works perfectly. However I am unable to find any options to set up offsetting while printing. I'm only seeing an offset setting under the printer drivers, which offsets multiple copies sent from one person.

    Is there a way to offset each 8.5 x 11 printjob?

    Thank you.

      one could default offset to be on, but set one is always the orientation of your default paper source. If user were copying/printing one set, the next job would be the same orientation.

      edit: in theory, havent tried

          or maybe set up virtual mailboxes sothe customer's print job is held until they release at the machine

              You might try the following Prescribe command:

              !R! FRPO S1,1; FRPO Y3,16;EXIT;

              ... which sets a print default as collate. Now, I don't know if the machine will look for a physical finisher or will rotate sort, but it's something to try. The Y3 setting allows the machine to display a a specific type of finishing error if specific equipment is required/not present.

              The more I read on this topic, the more I think it won't work, but will do no harm to try.

              To restore original settings:
              !R! FRPO S1,0; FRPO Y3,0;EXIT;

              There aren't any specific FRPO commands specifying offset. =^..^=
              If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
              3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
              4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
              5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
