3.5 Interposer
The Interposer is a paper input unit that is used for paper post processing devices, which
can integrate additional paper that cannot be printed on into customer applications. For
example, it enables you to automatically insert pre-printed cover sheets, tabs as well as fine
paper that should not go through the printing system’s fusing process into customer jobs.
The Interposer is positioned right after the paper output of the printing system and before
the paper post processing device. It has four input trays for a total of 5200 A4 pages with
80 g/m². Its setup and operation is similar to the paper input of the printing system and
cascade. The range of paper that can be used is identical to the pneumatic paper input (see section Technical data, page 337).
Paper from the Interposer is no longer printed, but rather it is sent directly from the
Interposer to the next paper post processing device. The paper is then inserted in the stack
as defined in the print job.
Cleaning, maintenance and error handling, e.g. paper jam is carried in a similar fashion as
with the paper input and the cascade.
3.5 Interposer
6.4.1 Cleaning the input trays >>> page 181
8.3.2.4 Clearing a paper jam in the paper input, cascade or Interposer >>> page 298
Note on using tabs
Only one tab set can be used in the entire printing system. This means that the tab
set can only be inserted in the paper input or in the Interposer. A combination of this
type is not possible.
Tabs with Euro perforation should not be used.
Note regarding transparent media
Transparent media cannot be used.
