Top Tray

Output to the Top Tray is delivered with Side-1 down and sets are not offset. The Top Tray can hold up to 250 sheets of 20 lb. (75-80 gsm) or equivalent paper. It can be set as a destination tray for non-stapled jobs. Copies that are less than 6.7 inches long in feed direction or 8 inches in the cross-feed direction will go to the Top Tray rather than the Main Tray. The Top Tray also receives sheets that are purged from the system when using the Main Tray or the Bottom Tray.

Main Tray

The Main Tray is the output tray for receiving compiled stapled and unstapled sets as well as single sheets. Output is delivered with Side-1 down and sets are offset. It can staple up to 100 sheets of 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 LEF, and 8.5 x 14 inch or B4 SEF of 20 lb. (75-80 gsm). It also can staple up to 50 sheets for paper sizes over 8.5 x 14 inch or B4 SEF of 20 lb. (75-80 gsm). Portrait, landscape, and dual position stapling are available.

"Stack Limit" allows you to set the Main Tray to the size of the stack from 200 to 2500 sheets. Once the set stack limit is achieved, the system will cycle down and display an Empty Main Tray message. The default setting is 2500 sheets.

Bottom (Booklet) Tray

The Bottom Tray is the output tray for receiving compiled stapled and unstapled booklets. It can receive up to 20 booklets of 15 sheets maximum of 8.5 x 11 inch or A4, 8.5 x 14 inch or Foolscap, and 11 x 17 inch or A3 20 lb. (75-80 gsm) or equivalent thickness with the Bottom Tray Stop in the up position. It also can receive Folded-Only Booklet up to 5 folded sheets per set of 8.5 x 11 inch or A4, 8.5 x 14 inch or Foolscap, and 11 x 17 inch or A3 or equivalent thickness with the Bottom Tray Stop in the up position. It can receive Tri-Fold C-Configuration and Tri-Fold Z-Configuration of single sheets only of 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 SEF.

When using the MFF for folded output, the Banner Sheets that separate your print jobs from one another will come out folded on the long axis of 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 paper, allowing the customer to see separation easier.

Booklet Making

• Folded and Stapled Booklets 2-15 sheets
• Sizes from 8.5 x 11 inch or A4, 8.5 x 14 inch or Foolscap, and 8.5 x 17 inch or A3

The Booklet Maker on the Professional Finisher produces Booklets ( Folded Only and Folded and Stapled ) and Letter Tri-Fold (C- and Z-Configuration).

All Booklet and Tri-Fold jobs must use SEF oriented paper supply.

The Booklet Maker can fold 1-5* sheets or fold and staple 2-15* sheets of the following papers:

*Booklet Maker: 15 sheets or less of 80 gsm (20 lbs) or equivalent thickness, e.g., 12 sheets of 80 gsm (20 lbs) with one cover of 200 gsm.

Tri-Folding enables bulk mailing applications and ease of fit into standard U.S. #10 business size and DL (A4) size envelopes.

Special materials such as transparencies, drawing film, labels, and coated stocks are not compatible with the Booklet Maker.

Finished jobs are delivered to the Bottom Tray with side 1 down. If you use Banner Sheets, they will be folded LEF orientation to separate jobs in the tray.

Folding Options (single sheets only)

• C-Configuration and Z-Configuration folds
• Output 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 only

Finisher Pause Button

Removing output while the Finisher is running may produce sets that are incorrectly stapled. The Finisher Pause Button delays processing to allow you to remove finished sets from the main tray without disturbing sets in progress.

The Finisher Pause Button is located near the right front corner of the top cover. When selected, it affects the operation of the Main Tray only.

To activate the Finisher Pause feature

1. Press the Pause Button.
2. Wait for the tray to lower.
3. Unload the tray.
4. Press the Pause Button again to continue subsequent processing.
