Since my email earlier this week, I realize that we're not all on the same page when it comes to MAXI orders. (It's too early in the morning for such puns - sorry.) Anyway, here is a quick run-down of possible instructions, with definitions, for MAXI orders.
Collated - for multiple paged documents, putting sheets of paper in numerical order. For example, if your document has 4 pages and you have it printed double-sided, the sheet with pages 1 & 2 will be followed by the sheet with pages 3 & 4. I know it sounds like a no-brainer, but sometimes people want their orders uncollated, where all page 1s are together, then all page 2s, all page 3s, etc. Please specify if you want your order to be collated.
Double-sided - printed on both sides of a single sheet of paper. Back-to-back is a popular euphemism.
Stapled - this is a no-brainer; the default is upper left-hand corner. However, you may specify another location if you wish.
Paper color & weight - default is white, 20#. You may specify alternatives, but remember that all deviations from the default cost the Department more. This is not to say that you should never use other colors (to minimize cheating, etc.), but if white will work, please use it.
Also please try to keep in mind that it's best to place MAXI orders between 8 am and 5 pm at least 24 hours before they're needed. Rush orders use up my capital with MAXI and I prefer to use that at my discretion. That said, orders placed by 9 a.m. usually get here on the same day, but I can't guarantee it.
