The finisher can deliver collated sets either stapled or unstapled. Unstapled sets can be offset stacked from the
previous set for easy separation of the sets.

Specifications are subject to change for improvement without notice.

AR-SC1 staple cartridges must be used for this finisher. The cartridge
package contains three cartridges approx. 3000 staples each.

NOTES
● Do not put pressure on the finisher (particularly each tray).

● Do not place anything on the top cover. Doing so will interfere with the machine’s paper handling during duplex printing.

● The tray moves up and down during operation. Be careful not to impede its movement.

● The finisher requires the installation of other peripheral devices in order to be functional and cannot be installed

together with some other devices. The table on page 8-4 shows the configurations which are compatible.
