Naming conventions for accessories (generic naming in User Interfaces)
Generic naming of accessories in User Interfaces
To improve the readability of texts in User Interfaces of control panels and software, the accessories are generally referred to by their function. The table below shows the naming conventions for accessories (commercial product names and the generic terminology used in User Interfaces).
NOTE
In some cases, there is only 1 name for more modules. The reason is that a configuration can only contain 1 of the available types of modules.

Finisher-AK1 and Saddle Finisher-AK2 can process jobs with the following settings:
•
Sort by set
• Sort by page
• Offset stacking
• Stapling
•
High-volume mode
• Saddle stitching (only when Saddle Finisher-AK2 is installed)
• Saddle folding (only when Saddle Finisher-AK2 is installed)

NOTE
• If you use paper weights lower than 64 g/m² (17 lb bond) for covers, the paper can crease
when saddle-stitched.
• If you use paper weights lower than 64 g/m² (17 lb bond) for covers when the Booklet Trimmer
is installed, the paper may be trimmed with uneven edges.
• If you use small paper, the paper may be saddle stitched with uneven edges. In this case,
check the width of the paper.
• If you use small paper, the paper may be stapled (corner/double) with uneven edges. In this
case, check the width of the paper.
•
If you use small paper, and the Booklet Trimmer is used, the paper may be trimmed with uneven edges. In this case, check the width of the paper.
• If you create a saddle-stitched booklet using coated paper or inserted sheets for the cover, the
image printed on the page after the cover may stick to the back of the cover, or back of the inserted sheets, depending on the type of coated paper you are using.
• If you create a saddle-stitched booklet using coated paper for the cover, cracks may appear
around the fold of the cover, depending on the type of coated paper you are using.

The finishing modes
IMPORTANT
• Do not place anything other than output paper in the trays of the finisher. Otherwise, the trays
can get damaged.
• Do not place anything under the trays of the finisher. Otherwise, the trays can get damaged.
Illustration
[3] Do not place anything under the trays
[4] Do not place your hands in the part of the tray where stapling is performed (near the rollers) when a finisher is attached, as this may result in personal injury.
Sort by set mode
Prints are automatically collated into sets arranged in page order (123, 123, for example).
Sort by page mode
All prints of the same original page are grouped together (111, 222, 333, for example).
Offset stacking mode
The printed output is shifted alternately to the front and back of the tray, in a vertical (portrait) orientation, or a horizontal (landscape) orientation, depending on the orientation of your originals. For example, if you place A4R or LTRR originals, the paper is output and shifted in the horizontal direction. If you place A4 or LTR originals, the paper is output and shifted in the vertical direction.
When you use the Offset stacking mode while Sort by set or Sort by page is selected, then each set of prints is shifted the following amount before it is delivered to the output tray:
• No staple: Each set is shifted 20 mm (3/4"), except for A4R media. For A4R, the set is shifted 15
mm (0.6")

• Corner staple: Each set is shifted 20 mm (3/4").
• Double staple: Each set is shifted 20 mm (3/4").
NOTE
In the following cases, problems can occur, for example the output is not aligned correctly or the output falls from the tray.
• If you use thin paper (due to the temperature, humidity, characteristics of the paper type, or paper curling).
• If you use the machine in high temperatures or high humidity.
• If you use coated paper, tab paper, or other special paper.
• If the paper is curled.
•
If the Punch mode is set.
• When the [High-volume mode enabled] setting is set to [Yes] (due to the temperature, humidity, characteristics of the paper type, or paper curling).
• When the [High-volume mode enabled] setting is set to [Yes], and the output paper stack exceeds the maximum stack volume of the tray (depending on the paper type or the functional mode that you use, the output paper can exceed the stacking limit).
Staple mode
Prints are automatically sorted by set and stapled. When you carry out a copy job, the prints are stapled at the following positions:
If an original is placed on the glass plate:
If originals are placed in the ADF:

IMPORTANT
•
If Staple mode is set, the output trays move downward as the stack of paper that is output increases in quantity and thickness. When an output tray has reached its stacking limit, or after 100 sets of prints or the predefined height has been output, printing and stapling stop temporarily. Remove all of the stapled prints from the output tray, and printing and stapling resume.
•
You cannot output a stapled set of prints to the upper tray.
•
You cannot staple transparencies or labels.
•
Do not pull copies or prints out of the output area while they are being stapled. Remove the copies or prints after they are output to one of the output trays.
NOTE
• Staple-N1 is standard on Finisher-AK1.
• Staple-N1 and Staple-P1 are standard on Saddle Finisher-AK2.
• If you want to staple more than 50 sheets (80 g/m² / 20 lb bond) of A3/Tabloid or A4R/LTRR paper, or 100 sheets (80 g/m² / 20 lb bond) of A4/LTR paper, the prints are only offset but not stapled. In addition, when you select coated or heavy paper, you may not be able to staple the job, even if the number of sheets, including sheet insertions or job separators, is below the set limit of a finisher.
• When the machine stops while stapling and a message on the control panel asks you to refill the staplers, you must replace the staple cartridge.
Saddle stitch mode
The Saddle stitch mode enables you to make booklets, consisting of pages that are folded and stapled in the center.
