offsetting, and stacking. You can select these functions in the printer driver, from your Brother machine’s LCD,
or using the machine's Web Based Management.
- Staple: Staples print jobs and ejects the pages onto the SF Output Tray. Available only when you select the
SF Output Tray as the output tray.
- Offset: Shifts print jobs ejected onto the SF Output Tray for easier collating. Available only when you select
the SF Output Tray as the output tray.
- Stack: When the Standard Output Tray becomes full, the printer automatically ejects the pages onto the SF
Output Tray.
To use these SF functions, configure them in your printer driver.
