Xerox® Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder
(BSFEx) by C.P. Bourg
As a standalone device or as part of
the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Solution for
Booklets, the Xerox® Dual-Mode Sheet
Feeder provides an efficient means of
preparing jobs for finishers, providing
automated finisher setup and for sharing
a finishing device with multiple printers. A
printer that is equipped with the BSFEx
inline can bypass the BSFEx Sheet Feeder
and send sheets directly to the inline
finisher. In addition, stacks from other
printers can be fed into the BSFEx to use
that inline finisher when the attached
printer is not using it. The BSFEx can also
be used as input to offline auto-finishers
if inline finishing doesn’t fit into your
business plan.
The BSFEx includes two separate feeding
compartments: a lower high-capacity
tray that can accommodate pile heights
up to 20" and an upper feed drawer that
accommodates pile heights up to 6.3" of
cover or insert sheets. A hand scanner is
used to read JDF data from job-specific
printed banner sheets that travel with the
stacks. The BSFEx is equipped with OMR
mark recognition, double and missed
sheets detection from both compartments
and detects when either tray is empty.
Benefits
• Combines the benefits of an inline
finishing device with the convenience
and cost effectiveness of sharing one
finisher with multiple printers.
• Saves time and enables you to
produce more jobs through automated
setup of files and automated setup of
inline or offline finishers with the
Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing
Solution for Booklets.
• Adds integrity by allowing printed stacks
to easily be moved to the finisher
without splitting the stack.
• In offline mode, the attached finisher
can run at up to 15,000 sheets/hour.

Duplo® DBM-5000 Nearline
Booklet Maker with SCC
The unit’s PC touchscreen enables access
to the PC Controller software, which
makes it very easy for an operator to
program and review or modify jobs during
the operation. The software ensures
the machine is programmed within
specification. Job layouts can be verified
to run with an option to select alternative
formats or paper size if needed.
The Duplo Slitter/Cutter/Creaser (SCC)
is an optional unit designed specifically
for the color and monochrome user. It is
able to slit, cut and crease in a single pass,
making the finishing of digital color and
monochrome books simpler and faster
than ever.
The SCC is designed principally for the
digital color market and takes care of two
common issues associated with digital
output. First, the SCC module side-slits
and trims the head and foot of each
sheet providing an accurate fullbleed trim,
which is registered by a CCD camera to
the image, rather than to the physical
dimensions of the sheet. Second, the
SCC module can crease the cover and
innermost sheets of the booklet or all
the sheets in the booklet so that image
cracking on the foldline is minimized.
Benefits
• Reduces production time.
• Reduces waste and errors caused
by using separate unconnected
finishing processes.
• Saves cost of additional equipment.
• One operator performs the job of two
people.
• Intelligent and intuitive, allowing
operation by unskilled staff.

Duplo® DC-645 with Integrated
Folding System
Adding to an already versatile line
of digital print finishing solutions,
Duplo’s Integrated Folding System (IFS)
achieves the next level in automation.
Incorporating an inline knife folder with
a DC-series finishing unit, the IFS
eliminates the need for a separate folding
device and enables users to not only slit/
cut/crease with the DC-645 but also fold
digitally printed applications in a single
pass using one system. By performing
the functions of multiple machines, the
system removes the bottleneck of the
finishing process that occurs when setting
up jobs separately. Printers can now
provide a faster turnaround by decreasing
their production time.
Accepted sheet sizes are 8.26" x 8.26"
to 14.56" x 25.59" (210 x 210 mm to
370 x 650 mm) with paper weights of
110 to 350 gsm (80 lb text to 130 lb cover).
Paper types are text, uncoated, coated
and laminated.
Benefits
• Easy Setup—Using a centrally located
control panel.
• Multiple-Up Processing—Slit, cut,
crease and fold multiple-up pieces
simultaneously in one pass.

two knife blades, the IFS can perform
the most common folds including single,
letter, Z, gate and double parallel along
with an infinite number of custom folds.
• Increased Stacking Capacity—
Can be con figured with either a short
(8") or long (15.75") vertical stacker
where the finished pieces, both folded
and unfolded, are collected.
• Customizable Configurations—The IFS
is made up of several modules and can
be configured to meet individual needs.

toner cracking on a wide range of fullbleed applications such as business cards,
postcards, greeting cards, brochures,
invitations, photos, direct mailers and
much more. Professionally-finished digital
printed communications and point of
sale advertisements can be produced in a
matter of minutes with the DC-646.
Benefits

digital printers. Offering greater speed,
productivity and versatility, the DC-745
not only processes jobs faster but also
finishes a wider range of digitally
printed applications in a single pass.
The DC-745 comes loaded with new
features, including a higher feed capacity
and a PC Controller for easy job setup, as
well as a range of optional modules for
scoring and perforating, enabling users
to go beyond basic finishing.
Benefits
Fast:

Innovative Solutions
Xerox® IntegratedPLUS
Finishing Solution for Booklets
Beneficial as it is, automated finishing
used to tie up valuable assets on your
shop floor. Prepress and postpress
processes required highly skilled personnel
to set up files to match finishing devices
at the front end and then later to
set up the actual finishing device to
run the job. And you were forced to
dedicate a finishing device to just one
printer. If you weren’t running booklets,
for example, that booklet maker sat
idle. Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing
Solution for Booklets changes all that.
Now prepress setup and finishing setup
can be automated, whether or not the
finishing device is inline with a printer or
offline. You get the best of both finishing
worlds—the convenience of inline with
the flexibility of offline, plus unsurpassed
labor savings.
Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution
for Booklets enables selected finishing
devices to be set up automatically,
through JDF instructions, whether or not
they are attached to a specific printer. An
operator simply loads sheets and covers
into the finishing device, scans a bar coded
banner sheet and presses “start.” No
manual finisher setup is required. In the
example above, your production printer
can be printing and stacking an annual
report to be perfect bound on an offline
finisher while the inline booklet maker is
busy binding benefit booklets originally
printed on an entirely different device.
Or, depending on your shop, you can
choose to have an offline booklet maker
serve multiple printers. Either way, the
automatic booklet maker setup enabled
by your Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Solution
gives you the opportunity to optimize
your investment and your operation by
leveraging automation.
Benefits
Eliminates the need for highly skilled
•
prepress operators to prepare files
according to finisher specifications.
Eliminates manual programming at the
•
finishing device and reduces the risk of
error because the necessary parameters
(e.g., page imposition, page ordering
and trimming) are set automatically
when a job enters your workflow.
Extends the convenience and cost
•
effectiveness of automated finishing to
multiple printers (including Xerox® and
non-Xerox printers in the same shop)
without the need for multiple, dedicated
inline finishing devices.
Maximizes productivity by enabling
•
prints to be output to stacker carts at
full rated print speed, while an attached
finishing device binds other jobs at its
full rated speed.
Makes it easy to manage a mix of jobs
•
that include diverse finishing
requirements and short print runs
without tying up a high-volume printer.
