5.1 Offset Stacking Offset stacking of IPDS jobs is available when offset stacking is supported in the printer standard bin or when an optional bin with offset stacking capability is installed. For offset stacking to occur, the following must happen: • Host Controlled must be selected in Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION > PAPER HANDLING > Offset Stacking. Host Controlled is the default value. See section 3.5.1 on page 29 for additional information. • Offset stacking commands must be received with the IPDS job. • The bin selection specified in the IPDS job must be mapped to a bin that supports offset stacking. See MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 36 for additional information on bin mapping. Output bin selection takes precedence over offset stacking. * Hole punching may be performed with offset stacking. Note: The Offset Pages menu item under the printer's menu does not affect offset stacking of IPDS jobs. Note: Offset stacking is not supported for all papers sizes or types. Refer to your printer documentation for additional information. 5.1.1 AS/400 and iSeries Offset Stacking When offset stacking is available, the IPDS emulation reports to the host that offset stacking is supported. The AS/400 and iSeries automatically send offset stacking commands with each job. The host default output bin selection number is 1, which selects the printer standard bin. If the printer supports offset stacking in the standard bin, the job will be offset. Following are different ways to ensure that jobs are offset.
