INTRODUCTION
The C9300/C9500 Finisher option adds document production
functionality to the C9300/C9500 colour printers by providing:
lon-line stapling
lon-line punching
lpaper position offset capability for job and copy unit (collated
printing) separation
For use with the Finisher, the printer requires a total of five paper trays
and the Finisher is positioned on a Finisher Cabinet so that it aligns
with the printer paper output path.
NOTE
This document assumes that the Finisher has been mechanically
installed.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
This User’s Guide describes the C9300/C9500 Finisher. The printer
and Finisher Cabinet are described in separate documents.
The contents of this Guide are arranged to take you through the
following steps to make the best use of the Finisher:
lBeing aware of safety issues
lSetting up the printer driver
lUsing the Finisher
lTroubleshooting the Finisher
lMaintaining the Finisher
You are advised to read the sections of this document in the order in
which they are presented. Once you are familiar with the equipment
you can refer to specific sections in isolation via the Table of Contents

lFor compatibility with the Finisher, the printer requires both a
second tray and an additional high capacity feed paper tray
unit. A Finisher Cabinet is required to support the Finisher.

CAUTION!
To avoid possible damage to the Finisher as the Face Down Stacker (1)

When carrying out troubleshooting or maintenance work on the
Finisher, it can be detached from the printer.
lPaper trays are numbered from top to bottom:
Trays 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (where Tray 1 is the original tray supplied
with the printer, Tray 2 is the additional second tray and Trays

USING THE FINISHER
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Finisher can handle only certain sizes, weights and types of media
in its punching, stapling and offsetting operations. Refer to the
following summary information to help you ensure that you make
correct use of the Finisher.
For detailed information, see “Appendix A - Specification” and
“Appendix B - Paper feed and ejection details”.
GENERAL
When the Finisher is being used:
lCustom width is 100 to 297mm and length is 149 to 1200mm.
Paper size must be set to Portrait.
lEnvelope 1 (Portrait No 3), Envelope 2 (Portrait No 4), Envelope
3 (Landscape No 4), Com-9, Com-10, DL, C4 and Monarch
envelopes cannot be used.
lError and warning messages that appear on the printer control
panel display are given in “Appendix C - Error and warning
messages”.

capability.
The hole positions are shown below for 2-hole long-side binding (1)

lFor 4-hole punching, two additional holes of the same
diameter are added, spaced 80+/-5mm on either side of the 2-
hole punching holes.
lAlthough punching always takes place at the same position on
the paper, by selecting paper orientation (portrait, landscape
or landscape with 180 deg rotation of printed data) in the
printer driver, the holes can effectively be placed at the left
side of a document for portrait use or at the top side or bottom
side of a document for landscape use.

document for landscape use.
Stapling procedure
lStapling is by print job or by copy unit.
lWhen stapling is enabled, single-sheet print jobs or copy units
are stapled.
lIf paper sizes of A4 (landscape) and Letter (landscape) are
mixed in one print job, stapling will take place. Any other
paper size mixes will not be stapled and the paper will be

COUNTERACTING PAPER CURL
If the paper emerging from the Finisher displays significant curl (1) it
might not stack properly. Also, curled paper might cause jams to
occur in the Finisher.

To counteract such curl, you can adjust the position of the Decurler
Lever.

NOTE
Depending on the direction and magnitude of paper curl, it is possible
that setting the Decurler Lever as above might cause a paper jam or
stacking error to occur. In this event, return the Decurler Lever to its

>Paper may be jammed in both the printer and the Finisher. For
details of clearing a paper jam in the printer, refer to the printer
User’s Manual.
>When a printer paper jam is cleared, recovery printing will reprint
the pages that were jammed. Provided the first page of a set to be
stapled is reprinted, stapling will take place: otherwise, the paper
will be ejected without stapling.
>When a Finisher unit paper jam is cleared, the pages that were
jammed will not be automatically reprinted. Remaining pages of a
set that was to be stapled will be ejected without stapling.
