Production Finishers
Description of the Basic Finishing Module (BFM/BFM Plus)
The are two BFM models:
- The BFM is a finisher that provides high capacity collating, stacking and stapling. It also includes a top tray for collecting or purging sheets.
- The BFM Plus is comprised of the Bypass BFM and the Interface Module. The BFM Plus module provides the same capabilities as the BFM. However, it does not have a top tray and does include a bypass paper path that allows the BFM Plus to pass pages through an Interface Module (IM) to another BFM or through an Interface Module and Finishing Transport Module to other DFA-compliant finishers.

Stacker Capacity |
3000 sheets of 20 lb bond (76 gsm) or equivalent The stack limit can be set from the UI for each BFM independently. Stapled sets with <15 sheets are limited to 100 sets.

The stapler devices have the ability to portrait, landscape or dual staple all supported paper sizes. Finished sets can be stacked internally to the lower stacker tray. If either of the Staplers runs out of staples see Replacing Staples or if it jams see Clearing Staple Jams. An alternate Staple Cartridge for up to 30 sheets of 20lb is available.

Configurations
The BFM and BFM Plus can be installed together to double the stacker capacity. There are a number of other possible 'Finishing' combinations for installing the BFM, BFM Plus, Interface Module (IM), Finishing Transport Module (FTM) and other inline finishers on a Xerox Nuvera Production System.

NOTE: The Xerox Nuvera 288 Digital Perfecting System includes two print engines in its configuration and a Sheet Enhancement Module located directly after the second print engine.
