Introduction
The bizhub PRO 1600P/2000P/2500P is a series of high-volume, cut-sheet printers.
The machines are intended for both document printing and stream printing.
Duplex technology enables the machine to print on the front and back side of a sheet
at the same time. Depending on the version, the sustained print speed, including
reconditioning, ranges from 80-125 sheets per minute (A4 / Letter). That means the
machine can print 160 - 250 images per minute (A4 / Letter) when printing a 2-sided
document.
The print speed for 1-sided documents (A4/Letter) is 125 images per minute.
This section gives a short description of the main features of the machine.
Note: Not all the configurations mentioned in this user manual are available
worldwide. Please contact your local dealer for the available configurations in your
country.

The operator attention light
The operator attention light
Introduction
The operator attention light informs you about the status of the machine. To improve
the productivity, the operator attention light can warn you some time before the
machine stops. You can set the warning time on the operator panel (see ‘Change the
warning time’ on page 111).
The operator attention light contains 3 lights (red, orange and green) that indicate the
current status of the machine. The colors of the lights match the status that is
currently indicated on the operator panel. For example, when operator interaction is
required soon, both the dashboard (see ‘The dashboard’ on page 34) and the operator
attention light will display an orange warning. The dashboard displays a message
with the required action.
This section describes the meaning of the colors of the operator attention light.

The paper modules
Introduction
The paper trays contain the media that are required for the print jobs. The default
configuration of the machine contains 1 paper module with 4 paper trays. You can
add 1 or 2 more paper modules to the machine. Then the total number of paper trays
is extended to 8 or 12 respectively. You can find more information about the
capacities of the paper trays and the supported media size in the appendix of this
manual.
This section describes the control panel on each paper module.
Note: You can use the control panel on the paper modules to open the paper trays
and load the media. However, the recommended way to open the paper trays and
assign the media is via the 'Schedule' view. You can also open the paper trays and/or
assign the media via the 'Trays' view (see ‘Assign the media to a paper tray’ on
page 92).

The Schedule view
Introduction to the 'Schedule' view
Introduction
The 'Schedule' is your daily planning board for print jobs. The 'Schedule' helps you
to keep the machine running.
This section shows and describes the main parts of the 'Schedule'.
Note: The descriptions of the colors of the bars and the indication of the required
amount of sheets are only valid for document printing. For streaming jobs , all the
bars remain grey until the paper trays are empty or the output locations are full.
Then the machine stops and the bars become red. Furthermore, the media toolbar
does not indicate the required amount of sheets.

Load the media
Load the media
Introduction
This section describes how to load the media into a paper tray.
When you load the media via the 'Load' button in the 'Schedule', the paper tray is
automatically assigned to the correct media.
When you load and assign the media via the 'Assign' button in the 'Trays' view, you
must assign the paper tray to the loaded media manually.
When no external finisher is connected to the machine, you must put all the media
types face up and header up into the paper trays. The tabs of tab sheets must be at the
right-hand side. When an external finisher is connected to the machine, it is possible
that you must put the media into the paper trays in a different way. Refer to the
documentation of the external finisher for more information about how to place the
media.
When to do
■ The 'Schedule' displays a red bar next to a required media. The red bar indicates
that a scheduled job now requires a media that is not available in the paper trays.
■ The 'Schedule' displays an orange bar next to a required media. The orange bar
indicates that a scheduled job requires media which is either not available in the
paper trays or which is available, but not in sufficient quantity to finish the job.
■ The current job requires more of the same media than is currently loaded in the
paper trays. You can add more of the required media into another paper tray.
■ You already want to load and assign media that are required for the next job (work
ahead).
Attention: Always put the stack of media aligned with the left-hand side of the
paper guides inside the paper trays, as indicated on the sticker inside the paper
trays.

Instructions for printing to the stacker/stapler (iMFS)
Instructions for printing to the stacker/stapler (iMFS)
Introduction
Note: This section only applies to the use of oriented media and tab sheets in
combination with the optional stacker/stapler (iMFS).
The machine supports oriented media. Oriented media are media of which the front
side differs from the back side. An example of oriented media is media with a
company logo. If you use oriented media and print to the optional stacker/stapler,
you must place the media into the paper trays as follows:
■ Face up and header down (for long-edge feed)
The face of the media, for example a company logo, is visible and point towards
the front of the printer.
■ Face up and header to the left (for short-edge feed).
The face of the media is visible and points towards the left-hand side of the
printer.
This orientation makes sure that the documents are stapled at the correct position.
Special instructions for the use of oriented media
When a job contains oriented media but no tab sheets, you must put this media
header down into the paper tray. The media must align with the header-down
orientation of the printed images (header down for long-edge feed and header to the
right for short-edge feed).
Special instructions for the use of tab sheets
When a job contains tab sheets, you must do the following.
■ Put all the oriented media for the job, including the tab sheets, header up and
header to the left (for short-edge feed) into the paper tray.
■ Temporarily change the default media orientation in the Settings Editor
application on the Smart Imager controller to 'Header-up'.
To do this, you must go to the setting 'Preferences' - 'Print job defaults' 'Stacker/stapler (iMFS)' or 'Stacker/stapler upper output' - 'Header orientation'.
There you can click the radio button for 'Header-up'.
Jobs that contain tab sheets are sent to the stacker/stapler when no stacker is present.
When a stacker is present, the jobs are sent to the stacker to improve the stack quality.

Introduction
When the machine has successfully printed a job, the system can move the job to the
list of 'Printed jobs'. This list can temporarily store the printed jobs. The list of
'Printed jobs' is not an archive. It is intended to enable you to reprint a job quicker
and easier. Each printed job of day X remains in the list of 'Printed jobs' for 24 hours.
Then the jobs of day X are automatically removed from the system on 00.00 hours
of day X + 1.
When you reprint a job from the list of 'Printed jobs', the job is not moved. The
original job remains in the list of 'Printed jobs'. The system only sends a copy of the
job to the list of 'Waiting jobs'. You cannot send a job directly to the list of 'Scheduled
jobs'. If you no longer need a job, you can delete the job from the list of 'Printed jobs'.
This section describes how to reprint a job.

Print a scheduled job later
Introduction
When a job is scheduled for printing, the job is present in the list of 'Scheduled jobs'.
However, for various reasons you can choose to print a job later. For example
because the required media are not available or because you first want to make a
proof (see ‘Make a proof’ on page 61).
This section describes how to print a scheduled job later.

Make a proof
Introduction
You can make a proof to check whether the quality and the layout of the output meet
your expectations. When you use the 'Proof' function, the machine prints 1 copy of
the job. You can only make a proof for a job in the list of 'Waiting jobs'.
This section describes how to make a proof.
Note: When you make a proof, the printed set is not subtracted from the defined total
number of sets for a job. For example, when you need 10 sets, the printer will still
print 10 sets after you made the proof. This is different from the checking of the first
set (see ‘Check the first set’ on page 85).

Bundle and split jobs
Bundle and split jobs
Introduction
Create a bundled job
If you want to combine 2 or more documents into 1 set, for example to prepare a
meeting, you can bundle jobs that are present in the list of 'Waiting jobs'. The original
jobs are removed from the list. The bundled job appears at the bottom of the list of
'Waiting jobs'. The system automatically creates a name for the bundled job that is
based on the name of the first job in the bundle.
The number of copies for the bundled job is initially set to 1. You can handle the
bundled job like any other job. For example, you can move the job to the list of
'Scheduled jobs', edit the job, delete the job or make a proof.
Edit a bundled job
You can define the following properties for a bundled job.
■ The order of the jobs in the bundle
■ The number of sets
■ Whether you want to check the first set of the bundled job.
Note: This section describes the above in separate procedures. However, you can
always access the 'Properties' window and change 1 or more properties at the same
time. You cannot change the properties of the individual jobs in the bundle. To do
this, you must first split the bundled job. Then you can change the properties of each
job.
Split a bundled job
In the list of 'Waiting jobs', you can split a bundled job into the original jobs. The
system removes the bundled job. The individual jobs are added at the end of the list
of 'Waiting jobs'.
This section describes how to create, edit and split a bundled job.
General information
■ When you print a bundled job, the machine prints the number of copies that you
indicated for the bundled job. The number of copies of the original jobs is
ignored.
■ When you stop a job after a set (see Stop a job on page 45), the printing stops
after 1 copy of the complete bundle.
■ The jobs in a bundle are accounted separately under the account ID of the original
jobs.
■ You cannot combine a bundled job with another bundled job.
64 Chapter 4 Working with the operator panel
Page 66
Note: All the jobs in the bundle must have the same output destination. Otherwise,
the operator panel displays a warning message. To continue, you must first split the
job, then change the individual jobs and finally bundle the jobs again.

Print the jobs that have a label
Introduction
A label is a name or tag that helps the operator to identify certain jobs on the operator
panel. When a job is sent to the machine, a label can be added to that job. The label
can be any name that helps to identify certain jobs. A label is not connected to job
settings.
The label can be defined in the printer driver, in a job ticket or via an automated
workflow. For example, the label ‘Customer X’ can be added to jobs. Then the
operator can select and print all the jobs for 'Customer X' at once. The operator can
select jobs with a label in the list of 'Waiting jobs' or in the list of 'Scheduled jobs'.
This section describes how to select and print jobs with a certain label.
Note: Automated workflows can be defined through the Settings Editor. You can find
more information in the online help of the Settings Editor.

Introduction
In the Settings Editor, you can set the default output location for print jobs. However,
you can change the output location on the operator panel for each job individually.
Depending on the configuration of your system, you can select one of the following
output locations.
■ 'Finisher upper output'
■ 'Finisher'
■ 'Stacker' or, if you have more than 1 stacker, 'Left-hand stacker', 'Middle stacker'
or 'Right-hand stacker'.
■ 'Stacker/stapler'
■ 'Stacker/stapler upper output'
■ 'External finisher'.
This section describes how to select another output location for a specific job.
Note: There must be a match between the selected output location and the job
requirements. For example, when a job does not require staples, you can select any
output location. If a job requires 1 or 2 staples, you can only select the output
locations that can staple the jobs, for example 'Finisher' or 'External finisher'
because the 'Stacker' cannot staple the jobs. If you make a combination that is not
possible, the operator panel displays an error message.

Check the first set
Introduction
You can indicate that you want to print 1 set of a job first to check the print quality.
When the print quality meets your expectations, you can continue the job.
You can use 1 of the following methods to indicate that you want to check the first
set.
■ Use a workflow profile where 'Check first set' is enabled (see ‘Work with the
workflow profiles’ on page 104). Then the machine always prints 1 set before the
entire job is printed. The machine goes on hold after 1 set is printed.
■ Enable the 'Check first set' function in the 'Properties' option of the 'Jobs' view for
a specific job only. However, this only works when the setting 'Check first set' in
the workflow profiles is set to 'As in job' (see Work with the workflow profiles on
page 104).
This section describes how to indicate that you want to check the first set for a
specific job only.
Note: When you use the 'Check first set' function, the printed set is subtracted from
the indicated total number of sets for a job. For example, when you need 10 sets, the
machine will print the first set and then stop. When you continue the job, the 9
remaining sets are printed. This is different from the making of a proof (see ‘Make a
proof’ on page 61).

Reset the day counters
Introduction
The 'Printer' section of the 'System' view displays 3 types of counters. 2 of these
counters provide information about the number of sheets that have been printed. The
other counter provides information about the amount of toner that has been used.
This section first describes the 3 counters in the 'Printer' section. Then it is described
how to reset the day counters.
General counter information
The following table describes the counters in the 'Printer' section of the 'System'
view.
[22]
Type of counter Description
'Billing counters' The 'Billing counters' section displays the total number of
prints that have been made since the machine was installed.
You cannot reset the billing counters.
Reset the day counters
'Day counters' The 'Day counters' section displays the number of prints that
have been made since the counter was last reset to 0. You can,
for example, reset the day counters at the beginning of a
working day or before you start a new job for a particular
customer.
'Toner counter' The 'Toner counter' section displays the amount of toner that
has been used since the machine was installed. You cannot
reset the toner counter.
The 'Billing counters' and the 'Day counters' provide information about the number
of 1-sided and 2-sided prints that have been made on standard-size and large media.
The length of the media determines whether a media is standard size or large. Media
with a length of less than 390 mm (15.35") are referred to and counted as
standard-size media. Media with a length of 390 mm (15.35") or more are referred
to and counted as large media.
The operator panel displays the media icon ( or ) as a small icon for
standard-size media. For large media, the media icon is big. The media icon is used
in various places on the operator panel, for example in the 'Counters' section, in the
'Trays' view and in the job information.
