#
IMPORTANT
Do not place anything other than output paper in the trays of the finisher, as doing so may damage the trays.
Do not place anything under the trays of the finisher, as doing so may damage the trays.
[22]
#
NOTE
If the finishing is used, 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 the optional Booklet Trimmer-D1 is attached to the Saddle Finisher-AJ2, you cannot output stapled paper to the booklet.
#
CAUTION
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.

Stapling
#
IMPORTANT
During stapling, 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, or after 100 sets of prints have been output, printing and stapling stop temporarily. Remove all of the stapled prints from the output tray, and printing and stapling resume.
You can corner and double staple A3, B4, A4, A4R, and B5 paper.
You can corner and double staple 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR and EXEC paper.
You cannot staple vellums, 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
If you want to staple more than 50 sheets (80 g/m² /22 lb Bond) of A3, B4, or A4R paper, or 100 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb Bond) of A4 or B5 paper, the copies/prints are only offset but not stapled. In addition, when selecting coated or heavy paper, you may not be able to use stapling even if the number of sheets, including sheet insertions or job separators, is below the set limit of a finisher.
If you want to staple more than 50 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb Bond) of 11"x 17", LGL or LTRR paper, or 100 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb Bond) of LTR or EXEC paper, the copies/prints are only offset but not stapled. In addition, when selecting coated or heavy paper, you may not be able to use stapling even if the number of sheets, including sheet insertions or job separators, is below the set limit of a finisher.
If the machine stops while stapling because almost all of the staples have been used the staple cartridge must be replaced.
Saddle stitching (booklets)

Cross Section Cross Section
The stacker/stapler, optional inserter and optional integrated punch unit
#
IMPORTANT
Saddle stitching (booklets) is available only if the Saddle Finisher-AJ2 is attached.
The maximum number of sheets that can be saddle stitched differs depending on the paper weight and type.
- When using plain paper (80 g/m² / 22 lb Bond), 25 sheets of paper (100 pages) can be saddle stitched at once.
- When using coated paper (80 g/m² / 22 lb Bond), 15 sheets of paper (60 pages) can be saddle stitched at once.
The paper sizes that can be saddle stitched are: 330.2 mm x 482.6 mm, 320 mm x 450 mm (SRA3), 304.8 mm x 457.2 mm, A3, B4, A4R, and irregular size (210 mm x 279.4 mm to 330.2 mm x 487.7 mm). The paper sizes that can be saddle stitched are: 13" x 19", 12.60" x 17.72", 12" x 18", 11" x 17", LGL, LTRR, and irregular size (8 1/4" x 11" to 13" x 19 13/64").
The accuracy of folds created with saddle stitching may vary, depending on the paper type and the number of sheets.
Saddle pressing
Saddle press enables you to compress a saddle stitched booklet spine.
[24]
#
IMPORTANT
Saddle press is automatically used when you select booklet.
#
NOTE
To make sure that saddle pressing is effective, you must saddle stitch more than nine sheets of paper (including one cover sheet).

Punching is available only if the Puncher Unit-BB1/BC1/BD1 or Professional Puncher-B1 is attached.
Only the following paper size can be hole punched: A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, or B5R / 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, or EXEC
When the Puncher Unit-BC1 is attached, only A3 or A4 paper can be punched in four holes.
If only the optional Puncher Unit-BB1 is attached, the machine automatically selects how many holes to punch depending on the selected paper size.
- Two holes in case of LGL and LTRR
- Three holes in case of 11" x 17", LTR and EXEC
Holes cannot be punched in paper heavier than 201 g/m² / 54 lb Bond, vellums, transparencies, labels, or prepunched paper.
Paper that is fed from the optional Document Insertion Unit-C1 cannot be hole punched.

Operating concept
Introduction
To maximize efficient and productive printing, the operating concept of the system, is based on the following principles.
Document preparation / job submission and production printing are clearly separated steps in the workflow.
Media definition is done by choosing from a media catalog instead of selecting trays.
Operation is intuitive and convenient at all workflow steps.
The workflow is entirely integrated because all components work together seamlessly.

Introduction
A color pre-set is a collection of color and quality settings that matches a specific document type, workflow or color application. The color pre-sets enable users to select the correct settings easily without in-depth knowledge about color management.
The controller provides the following color pre-sets to start printing immediately.
'Office documents' to print the Microsoft Office documents. The Microsoft Office documents use the RGB color space.
'Photographic content' to print documents from photo editing or layout applications. These documents use the CMYK color space.
A color expert can create more color pre-sets. The color pre-sets appear in the printer driver and in PRISMAprepare (optional software).
