The saddle stitch finisher can automatically place two staples for centreline binding of prints or copies and fold them
along the centreline. An optional hole punching unit is available for installation into the finisher.

NOTES
● Do not press on the saddle stitch finisher (particularly the offset tray).
● Use caution when near the offset tray during printing as the tray moves up and down.
● To install the saddle stitch finisher, a duplex bypass/inverter unit and either a stand/1 x 500 sheet paper drawer,

a stand/3 x 500 sheet paper drawer, or a duplex module/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer must also be installed.
