1 Product basics The HP 8-bin Mailbox (multibin mailbox [MBM]) makes it easier to share one printer among several users that might be located in different departments or workgroups within a network-shared environment. The MBM attaches to a printer or multifunction peripheral (MFP) and provides multiple output bins that can be assigned to a user or a group of users.
Identifying the MBM parts HP LaserJet printer HP LaserJet MFP 15 13 14 14 15 13 12 1 1 Part Description 1 Face-down bins 1 through 8 Each of these bins holds up to 250 sheets. In these bins, the sheets are stacked in the order in which they were printed. 2 Face-down bin 1 (copy bin) Face-down bin 1 is the default bin for some MFP copy jobs.
Interpreting light patterns The user LED, located on the front of the MBM, indicates the status of the MBM. Use the following table to interpret the device status by reading the user LED. ENWW LED state Indication Green, solid The MBM is operating normally. Green, blinking The MBM is in Service mode. Amber, solid A malfunction has occurred. See the printer or MFP control-panel display and “Interpreting control-panel messages” on page 19 for more information.
4 1 Product basics ENWW
2 Configuring the MBM for your work environment This chapter contains information about the following topics: Note ENWW ● Getting started ● Understanding the operation modes ● Setting an operation mode ● Turning off the designated default output bin for copy jobs ● Assigning a default output bin to a user or a group of users for the Mailbox mode ● Sending a print job to an output bin that is different from the default ● Sending a copy job to an output bin that is different from the default
Getting started After the printer driver is installed, you have to configure the MBM in the printer driver and at the control panel before you can use it. Whether the MBM is connected to a printer or MFP, an output bin is set to be the first or only bin to receive copies (the copy bin) or print jobs. See the following table for more information about which output bins are designated to received copy and print jobs.
Understanding the operation modes The MBM has four operation modes. Note When the MBM is connected to a multifunction peripheral (MFP), the face-down bin 1 is designated for copy jobs (as the default) and is not available in the printer driver. Each of the remaining seven output bins is available in the printer driver.
If a print or copy job is sent to a bin that is full, the printer or MFP stops printing (even if the other bins are not full). For the printer or MFP to continue printing, you must remove the media from the full bin. Setting an operation mode After you set the operation mode at the printer or MFP control panel, you need to configure the printer driver so that it matches the operation mode that you set at the control panel.
• For automatic configuration, under Installable Options, click Update Now in the Automatic Configuration list. • For manual configuration, under Installable Options, select the appropriate operation mode in the Accessory Output Bin list. 5 ENWW Click OK to save your settings.
Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT® 4.0 1 Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers. 2 Right-click the HP product icon, and then click Properties (Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition [Me]) or Document Defaults (Windows NT 4.0). 3 Perform one of the following actions: If you are using a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver • For automatic configuration, click the Configure tab, and then click the Update Now button.
7 ENWW In the Mailbox Mode list, select the appropriate operational mode, and then click Apply Changes.
Turning off the designated default output bin for copy jobs If the MBM is connected to an MFP, the face-down bin 1 is designated for regular copy jobs in the following operation modes: ● Stacker ● Job Separator ● Sorter/Collator If the copy bin is turned off, regular copy jobs are sent to face-down bins 1 through 8 for the Stacker, Job Separator, and Sorter/Collator modes. Note This option does not apply to the Mailbox mode.
Assigning a default output bin to a user or a group of users for the Mailbox mode When the HP 8-bin Mailbox (MBM) is configured as a mailbox, the output bins can be assigned to users or groups of users. This feature is available in the printer driver. Note The illustrations in this section show the text in English. Depending on the operating system that you are using and what settings you have set, your screens might or might not look like these illustrations.
Windows NT 4.0 1 At the computer that belongs to the user that you are assigning, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers. 2 Right-click the HP product icon, and then click Document Defaults. 3 Perform one of the following actions: If you are using a PCL printer driver • On the Output tab, select the appropriate output bin, and then click OK. If you are using a PS printer driver • Click the Advanced tab. Under Document Options, click Printer Features.
Sending a print job to an output bin that is different from the default Because you cannot specify a face-down output bin to send your print job to in the Stacker, Job Separator, and Sorter/Collator modes, the bin option for these modes is Output Bins 1-8 (for printers) or Output Bins 2-8 (for MFPs). When the MBM is connected to an MFP, output bin 1 is not available in the printer driver. Note The illustrations in this section show the text in English. They show screens that appear in the Mailbox mode.
Windows NT 4.0 1 Open a document, and then click Print on the File menu. 2 Click Setup or Properties. (The options might be different for your program.) 3 Perform one of the following actions: If you are using a PCL printer driver • On the Output tab, select the appropriate output bin, and then click OK. If you are using a PS printer driver • Click the Advanced tab. Under Document Options, click Printer Features. Select the appropriate output bin from the Output Bin list.
