Ejecting Unused Tabs

If a job uses fewer tab sheets than are in a tab bank, you can choose to eject the unused tabs. For example, if your job has four defined tabs and there are five tab sheets per bank, the unused tab is ejected to the output tray as the job is printed.
    Important:

  • The Eject unused tabs menu is only available if the selected printer supports eject unused tabs functionality.

  • The Eject unused tabs function is not available for converted tabs.

  • Adding an image to a tab disables the Eject unused tabs function.

To select an output tray for Eject unused tabs:
  1. Open Job Setup in the settings area. Clear the Apply settings to PDF and remove from job ticket check box.
    Apply settings to PDF and remove from job ticket
  2. On the Edit Tabs screen, select an available output tray from the Eject unused tabs menu.
Note: By default, the Apply settings to PDF and remove from job ticket check box is selected. To change the default setting, click Settings ⇒ Preferences, then click the General tab. Under Print settings, clear the Apply settings to PDF and remove from job ticket check box.

For details about a specific setting, click the Help button to display the on-screen field help.
