Delivering Document Sets To the Stacker

Printing out large volumes of documents is not a problem for the Xerox Nuvera. On the other hand, sorting and delivering those documents to people is difficult and time consuming if the output is not organized.

For more information about document set sorting at the Xerox Nuvera, see Using Offset.

Multi-Function Finisher (MFF) Stacker

The other use for the Stacker (bottom tray) is for making booklets, dual-stitched, saddle-stitched, and folded documents.

Note

NOTE: The MFF is the standard-equipped finisher on a Xerox Nuvera Digital Copier/Printers.

Basic Finishing Module (BFM) Stacker

The BFM includes a top tray, which serves as a purge tray and as a destination for ineligible stocks. It also includes a high-capacity stacker. For details, see Basic Finishing Module Specifications.

Note

NOTE: The BFM is the standard-equipped finisher on a Xerox Nuvera Digital Production System. There are several 3rd-party finishing solutions available for the system. See 3rd Party Finishers for more information.

To send document sets to the stacker

Documents submitted from a client application can be programmed to use the stacker. See Printing from your PC.

  1. At the Xerox Nuvera user interface, initiate a job and make job programming choices.
  2. On the Output tab, choose the Stapling/Finishing button.
  3. Click on the Output Location pulldown menu, and choose Finisher.
    4. Note

    NOTE: This set of steps applies to systems with either an MFF or BFM.
  4. To aid in the sorting and distribution of your output, you may want to program offset into the documents going to the stacker. For details, see Using Offset to Separate Documents in a Stack.
Note

NOTE: Jobs with different sized papers can be stacked in the main tray. Small papers should be stacked on top of large papers to prevent the stack from falling over.

To unload the BFM stacker

After a print job assigned to the BFM stacker finishes, the system will display an alert to unload the stacker.

  1. Select the Unload button on the UI or press the Unload button on the front of the BFM.
  2. When the LED is blinking it is OK to open the tray access door.
  3. Grasp the black handle and slide tray outward.
  4. Remove stack from stacker tray.
  5. Push tray back into the BFM.
  6. Close the access door.
    Or
  7. Press the Unload button by the LED on the front of the BFM.

What the LED means

LED is Off = Stacker is accepting sheets (Do not open BFM front door)

LED is Steady = Stacker tray is lowering (Do not open BFM front Door)

LED is Blinking = OK to open stacker door.

Note

NOTE: The Unload button will not cause an unload if the Feed Module runs out of paper in the middle of a job. Fill the Feed Module tray and allow the set to finish. Canceling, holding, or deleting a job will also allow unloading to occur.

In case of a jam in the paper path or stapler:

If paper should become jammed in the paper path section or stapler, and a system event does not appear, you can access these areas by unlocking the drawer/cover through the system software.

  1. In the system user interface, click [Printer: Unlock Finisher] . The Unlock Basic Finisher window appears.
  2. The Top Cover and Stapler Drawer unlock buttons are shown. Click the button of the area you wish to unlock.
  3. You should hear a series of clicks coming from the BFM. The cover or drawer can now be accessed.
caution: possibility of damage to equipment if procedure not followed.

CAUTION!
Do NOT attempt to unlock any BFM covers or drawers while there is still an "Adjusting Finisher" status visible in the status area of the system user interface. Wait for this message to clear before attempting to use the Unlock Basic Finisher controls.
