1 BASIC OPERATIONS

1.1 Specifications

A finisher is designe to d receive the output of its host machine for extra processing be-
fore delivery; the mode of delivery may be non-sort stack, job offset*, or staple/punch.
The operations associated with these tasks are controlled by the finisher controller PCB
and commands from the host machine.
The saddle stitcher assembly inside the finisher unit staples stacks of sheets from the fin-
isher assembly, and folds the stacks in two for delivery. The saddle stitcher assembly is con-
trolled by commands from the host machine by way of the finisher assembly.
The inserter is designed to send a sheet placed in the inserter tray to the finisher assembly.
The sheet is then added to the stack of sheets set aside in the finisher assembly for delivery.
The folder serves to fold a sheet coming from the host machine into Z for delivery to the
finisher assembly. The inserter and the folder are controlled by the finisher controller PCB.
In job offset delivery, each stack of sheets is moved to the front or the rear
to enable grouping of stacks.
