5.3.1.3 Lexmark C950, Lexmark X950, Lexmark X952 and Lexmark X954 Optional Advanced
Finisher Functions
The Lexmark C950, Lexmark X950, Lexmark X952 and Lexmark X954 support a Standard Finisher and
an Advanced Finisher. The Advanced Finisher supports Corner staple, Dual staple (IPDS Edge stitch with
2 staples), Double Dual staple (IPDS Edge stitch with 4 staples), Center Fold (IPDS Center Fold-in), and
Saddle staple (IPDS Saddle stitch-in). The printer automatically rotates the text 180 degrees for short-
edge fed paper and 90 degrees for long-edge fed paper. If necessary, reformat your job on the host with a
different text orientation to avoid stapled or folded sets that are hard to read.
Finishing functions may not be applied to all paper sizes. Refer to your printer or finisher documentation
to determine the finishing support and staple location for various paper sizes.
How to specify the Printer File parameters for Center Fold, and Saddle staple is shown below. Examples
for Corner staple, Dual staple and Double Dual staple are in section 5.2.1.2 on page 56.
5.3.1.3.1 Saddle Staple (IPDS Saddle stitch-in)
Saddle staple may be specified using various application programs using the Operation Type Saddle stitch-
in (X'12' in the IPDS data stream).
Saddle stitch-in folds the paper inward (printed side in) along the centerline and places two staples in the
centerline fold. Saddle stitch-in is only supported on selected paper sizes. Refer to your printer or finisher
documentation for the paper sizes supported.
Saddle stitch-in is only supported on Letter and A4 paper when the paper is loaded for Short Edge Fed
(SEF) printing. All jobs specifying Saddle stitch-in will be routed to the finisher physical bin 3. Saddle
stitch-in has a higher priority than the bin selection, offset, and hole punch. These functions will be
ignored when specified with Saddle stitch-in.
The following is an example of a job output statement that includes the From Definition to perform Saddle
stitch-in.
