• Normally, the finisher holds a stack of sheets 250 mm in height in its two bins (small-size

paper: equivalent to 2000 sheets)/140 mm in height (large-size paper: equivalent to 1000
sheets)

• The finisher is capable of handling papers between 60 and 256 gm/m².

• The finisher has a job offset function for sorting non-stapled stacks of copies.

• The finisher offers a choice of four stapling modes (1-point stapling at rear, diagonal sta-

pling at front, diagonal stapling at rear, 2-point stapling).

• The use of a buffer roller enables the finisher to accept copies without interruption from

the host machine even during stapling or offset operation.

• The finisher can staple along the center of paper and fold it in two (up to 15 sheets).

• The use of the puncher unit enables the finisher to punch sheets for binders before they are

output. (The puncher unit is capable of handling papers between 60 and 256 gm/m². It can-
not handle special paper, postcards and transparencies.)

• Enable the use of special type of paper and printed paper in addition to the staple sorting or

the hole punching mode (Available when the optional staple sorting and the hole punching
mode units are installed.) This paper is not run through fuser (heat).
