Bins
Trays that catch and hold documents as they exit the printer or copier.
Detailed Explanation
Output bins are the trays or receptacles where finished documents are collected after printing or copying. Simple copiers have a single catch tray, while more advanced models may include multiple bins for sorting, offsetting, or separating different job types. Some sophisticated systems include sorters with numerous bins (10-50+) that can collate large copy jobs automatically, separating each set into a different bin for easy distribution.
