About the FusionPunch II

The GBC FusionPunch II is a new and improved online printer punch that has been redesigned to meet Xerox certification. It is the only online printer punch on the market today. The FusionPunch II features easy, automated operation.

Punch any hole pattern

The FusionPunch II features multiple punching dies that can be changed in minutes without the use of tools. Die sets are available in a variety of standard configurations such as Three Hole, GBC Plastic and TwinLoop Custom dies can be built to order.

Online

The FusionPunch II attaches directly to your high-speed printer. Documents flow directly from the printer to the binding system without the bottleneck associated with traditional offline punching processes. The FusionPunch II online punching system not only affords superior turnaround times, but also significantly reduces labor costs. Only one operator is required to print, punch and offset stack documents.

At the speed of your printer

The FusionPunch II matches the speed of your printer, punching over 200 sheets per minute. This is faster than the production rate of the fastest cut sheet printer on the market today.

About the FusionPunch II 1-3

Key Features

Die sets can be easily changed without tools.

2 Paper size adjustments can be made quickly and easily.

3 The Single Sheet Feeder design of the FusionPunch II maintains

document integrity and allows the operator to set up the machine in

offline mode.

4 The Output Stacker allows documents to emerge punched and offset

stacked for more efficient offline binding operations. One or more

stackers can be connected for continuous operation.

5 An optional Bypass Stacker can be used inline to allow the use of other

downline finishers, such as a Signature Booklet Maker, or BDFX.

LCD Display Screen

The LCD Display Screen displays the current status of the FusionPunch II, to include operating mode and any error messages that may occur. Also, service personnel use the display to run and interpret diagnostic codes.

Creating 61XX Profiles and Print Queues

What is a Profile?

A profile is a set of values, or system configuration parameters, that are entered into the printer’s operating system from the keyboard. A profile allows the printer to communicate effectively with the FusionPunch II and its stacker (or multiple stackers). Each model of printer has its own unique profile. For example, the profile for a DocuTech 135 is different than the profile for a DocuTech 6100.

What is a Print Queue?

A Print Queue is also a set of values, or system configuration parameters, that communicates input and output information from the printer to a finishing device. The FusionPunch II is a finishing device.

System Access for Setup

Profile and Print Queue configuration is performed at the same time and is normally the responsibility of the System Administrator. The following information is provided for use by the System Administrator for the purpose of creating profiles and print queues for the system.
