Finishing Modes

The Staple Finisher-G1 and Booklet Finisher-G1 are equipped with the following finishing modes:

Collate Mode

The prints are automatically collated into sets arranged in page order.

Group Mode

All prints of the same original page are grouped together into sets.

Offset Mode

The print output is shifted alternately to the front and back of the tray.
The paper is output in a vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation, depending on the orientation of your originals. For example, for LTRR originals, the paper is output in the horizontal direction. For LTR originals, the paper is output in the vertical direction.

Staple Mode

The prints are automatically collated into sets arranged in page order and stapled. Prints are stapled in the following places:

If an original is placed on the platen glass:

Corner Staple Area		Double Staple Area

1 Upper Left 2 Upper Right 3 Lower Right 4 Lower Left		5 Left Side 6 Right Side

If originals are placed in the feeder:

NOTE

For instructions on maintenance for the finisher, such as replacing staples, see "Maintenance." For information on clearing paper or staple jams, see "Problem Solving."

If the Collate or Group mode is set, the output trays move downward as the stack of paper that is output increases in quantity and thickness. Once an output tray has reached its stacking limit, subsequent prints are automatically delivered to the next available tray. If all of the available trays have reached their stacking limits, printing stops temporarily. Remove all of the output paper from the trays. The trays move upward, and printing resumes.

If you press [Offset] when either the Collate or Group mode is set, each set of prints is shifted approximately 1 1/4" (30 mm) alternately to the front and back of the tray before it is delivered to the output tray.

If the Staple mode is set, the output tray moves downward as the stack of paper that is output increases in quantity and thickness. Once the output tray has reached its stacking limit, printing and stapling stop temporarily. When all of the stapled prints from the output tray are removed, printing and stapling resume.

When you are using the Staple mode, do not remove the stack of paper from the output tray during the job. Remove the stack of paper when the job has been completed.

The maximum numbers of sheets that can be stapled are as follows:

LTR and EXEC: 50 sheets (14 lb bond to 22 lb bond (52 g/m2 to 81 g/m2)), 30 sheets (22 lb bond to 28 lb bond (82 g/m2 to 105 g/m2)), 2 sheets (29 lb bond to 80 lb cover (106 g/m2 to 220 g/m2))

11" x 17", LGL, and LTRR: 30 sheets (14 lb bond to 22 lb bond (52 g/m2 to 81 g/m2)), 20 sheets (22 lb bond to 28 lb bond (82 g/m2 to 105 g/m2)), 2 sheets (29 lb bond to 80 lb cover (106 g/m2 to 220 g/m2))

If the machine stops while stapling and the message <Load staples into the saddle stitcher unit.> appears, almost all of the staples have been used, and the staple case must be replaced. To proceed, replace the staple case. (See "Maintenance.")

The Saddle Stitch mode is available only if the Booklet Finisher-G1 is attached.

The maximum numbers of sheets, including cover sheets, that can be saddle stitched are described below.

16 sheets of paper (14 lb bond to 22 lb bond (52 g/m2 to 81 g/m2))

10 sheets of paper (22 lb bond to 28 lb bond (82 g/m2 to 105 g/m2))

The accuracy of folds created in the Saddle Stitch mode may vary depending on the paper type and the number of sheets.

Make sure to adjust the Booklet Tray guide to match the size of the output paper before outputting saddle stitched prints, as shown below.


11" x 17"	LTRR

The Saddle Fold mode is available only if the Booklet Finisher-G1 is attached.

The paper is saddle folded one sheet at a time, and then output.
