Using DFA Compliant Finishers through the Finishing Transport Module (FTM)
The FTM is an interface between the main printing area of the Xerox Nuvera and a DFA-compliant finishing device of some type, such as a stapler, binder, booklet maker or folder.
What is DFA?
Document Finishing Architecture (DFA), is a set of published specifications that allow finisher vendors to develop in-line devices that are compatible with Xerox printing equipment. The FTM is a DFA-compliant device.
DFA profiles must be installed for each DFA-compliant finisher installed on a Xerox Nuvera Digital Production System. Generally, the DFA profile is supplied by the finisher vendor and installed at the time of the finisher installation. You can set up a DFA device by entering Printer Manager on the user interface and selecting [Finishing: Device Setup]. Enter the DFA-compliant device's properties. Select [External Finishers] to complete install and enable the device.
