IN-LINE STAPLER FINISHER USER GUIDE 1

Maintenance safety

Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the
documentation that is supplied with your In-line Stapler Finisher.

Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause poor
performance of the In-line Stapler Finisher, and could create a dangerous condition.

Use the supplies and cleaning materials only as directed in the DocuColor 12 System
Administration Guide or Document Centre ColorSeries 50 System Administration Guide.
Keep all of these materials out of the reach of children.

Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws. There are no parts
behind these covers that you can maintain or service.

Do not perform any maintenance procedures unless you have been trained to do them by
a Xerox representative or unless a procedure is specifically described in this guide or one
of the copier/printer manuals.

Follow all warnings and instructions that are marked on, or supplied with, the machine.
Refer to the Safety Notes in the copier/printer user guide for proper placement of the

equipment.

Be careful when working in areas identified with this warning symbol. These

areas may be very hot and could cause personal injury.
If you need any additional safety information concerning the machine or materials, contact

your Xerox representative.

Overview

Figure 1: Xerox DocuColor 12 with a Finisher/Mailbox

The In-line Stapler Finisher is an optional accessory for the Xerox DocuColor 12 and
Document Centre ColorSeries 50 copier/printers. It attaches to the right side of the copier/
printer, as shown in Figure 1. The In-line Stapler Finisher will be referred to as the Finisher
in the remainder of this guide.

The Finisher provides stapling capability for print jobs. It can staple from 2 to 50 sheets of
a single paper size or selected mixed paper sizes. It offers both single and dual stapling
choices. Stapling options are selected from the printer properties window of the
application used to print the job. All stapled sets are delivered to the Finisher Output Tray.
The Finisher Output Tray offsets the output for easy retrieval.

In addition to the Finisher Output Tray, the Finisher has 10 top bins and a Center Output
Tray. The accessibility of the bins and trays depends on how the Finisher has been
configured, the mode of operation, and the options selected for the job.

At installation, the Finisher is configured as either a Finisher/Mailbox or a Finisher/Sorter.
This configuration determines how the 10 top bins function. The stapling option is
available with either configuration. You must contact your Xerox Service Representative to
switch between the Finisher/Mailbox and Finisher/Sorter configurations.

IN-LINE STAPLER FINISHER USER GUIDE 3

Finisher/Mailbox configuration

When the Finisher is configured as a Finisher/Mailbox, the top 10 bins are designated as
mailbox bins for print jobs. Unstapled print jobs can be directed to any one of these bins or
to either of the output trays. Stapled print jobs must be sent to the Finisher Output Tray.

All copy jobs from the Finisher/Mailbox configuration are directed to the Center Output
Tray. The mailbox bins and the Finisher Output Tray are not available for copy jobs.

Finisher/Sorter configuration

When the Finisher is configured as a Finisher/Sorter, the top 10 bins are designated as
sorter bins for copy jobs. These bins can be used for both collated and uncollated copy
jobs. Uncollated copy jobs can also be directed to the Center Output Tray.

Unstapled print jobs can be sent to the Center Output Tray. The Finisher Output Tray can
accept both stapled and unstapled print jobs. The sorter bins are not available for print
jobs.

Components

Figure 2: Finisher Components

1 Left Door - Open to clear jams in Areas 5 and 6.
2 Right Door - Open to clear jams in Areas 7 and 8. The top edge of the Right Door is

also used to grasp the Finisher when separating the Finisher from the copier/printer
for jam clearance.

3 Finisher Front Door - Open to access the stapler area for staple jams and staple

refills.

4 Finisher Mailbox/Sorter Bins - When the Finisher is configured as a Finisher/

Mailbox, printed jobs can be directed to any of the 10 mailboxes. When the Finisher is
configured as a Finisher/Sorter, up to 10 copied sets can be sorted to these bins. Each
bin holds a maximum of 100 sheets.

5 Center Output Tray (Top Tray) - Uncollated output from copy and print jobs will be

delivered to this tray. When the Finisher is unavailable, printed jobs will default to this
tray. The Center Output Tray holds a maximum of 300 sheets.

6 Finisher Output Tray - Stapled and unstapled print jobs will be offset in this tray. The

Finisher Output Tray holds a maximum of 1000 sheets. This capacity varies
depending on paper size.

7 Pause/Resume button - To ease unloading, press to pause output. Wait for the

machine to stop before unloading. This will ensure that your stapled sets are
complete. Press the button again to immediately resume printing or printing will
resume automatically after the one-m inu te time out period.
