HP LaserJet Enterprise M604, M605, M606 - Select an output bin

Print to the top (standard) output bin

The top output bin collects paper face-down, in the correct order. Use this bin for most print jobs, including transparencies. To use the top output bin, be sure that the rear output bin is closed. To avoid jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.

Print to the rear output bin

The product always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper that is printed to this bin will exit face-up, with the last page on top (reverse order).
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest path. Opening the rear output bin might improve performance with the following items:
  • Envelopes
  • Labels
  • Small custom-size paper
  • Postcards
  • Paper heavier than 120 g/m2.
Opening the rear output bin makes the duplexer (if installed) and the top output bin unavailable. To avoid jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.
  1. To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin, and pull the bin down.

  2. Slide out the extension.

Print to the optional stacker or stapler/stacker

The output bin on the optional stacker holds up to 500 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper. It accepts standard and custom paper sizes. Using the stacker increases the output capacity of the product to a total of 1,000 sheets. Jobs are sent first to the standard output bin, and then to the stacker bin.
The output bin on the optional stapler/stacker holds up to 500 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper. It accepts standard and custom paper sizes, but only Letter, Legal, and A4 sizes can be stapled. Using the stapler/stacker increases the output capacity of the product to a total of 1,000 sheets. Jobs that do not require stapling are sent first to the standard output bin, and then to the stacker bin.
To print to the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, select the option in the print driver.
note:
When a stapler/stacker is installed, the product automatically rotates the printed images 180° on all paper sizes, regardless of whether the job is stapled. Paper types that must be printed in the correct orientation, such as letterhead or prepunched paper, need to be loaded in a different direction.

Print to the 5-bin mailbox

The optional 5-bin mailbox provides five output bins that can be configured from the control panel to sort print jobs in a variety of ways.
  • Mailbox: Each bin is assigned to a user or group of users. This is the default setting. Jobs are sorted by the person who sent the job.
  • Stacker: The product uses all of the bins to stack copies of a job. Jobs are sent to the bottom bin first, and then to the next highest bin, and so forth. When all bins are full, the product stops.
  • Job Separator: Each print job is sent to a different bin. Jobs are sent to an empty bin, starting with the top bin and continuing to the bottom bin.
  • Collator: The product sorts copies of a single print job into separate bins.

Configure the mailbox mode

  1. Touch or press the Home button on the product control panel.
  2. Open the following menus:
    • Administration
    • Multi-Bin Mailbox Settings

  3. Select one of the operation modes, and then press or touch the OK button.
