Changing DFA Configurations for 3rd Party Finishers
When your system is installed, a Xerox CSE uses the FreeFlow Print Server to create a configuration and profile of the finishing
devices on your system. A configuration represents the finishing module or combination of finishing modules installed. Within a
configuration are profiles that represent specific destinations, device settings and attributes for that configuration.
If you need to switch from using one set of finishers to another set of finishers (for example, a DS5000 to a Booklet Maker) or access a
different finishing configuration, use the following instructions.
To enable a different profile than the one currently enabled for a finishing configuration:
1. On the Printer menu, select Finishing.
2. From the Finishers drop-down menu, select [External Finishers]. The External Finisher window displays. One or more
configurations will be listed depending on the 3rd party finishers installed.
3. If the job you are running requires a different finishing location than what is currently enabled for that configuration, select the
configuration identified as online.
4. Select a different destination profile listed under the configuration, right-click, and select [Enable] to enable a different profile.
To change from using currently installed finishers and enable a new configuration:
This procedure is for instances when you need to physically change finishing devices and replace existing finishers on the system with
a different set of finishers. Refer to the vendor's 3rd party finishing documentation to learn which finisher profiles will be changed
automatically or which ones will need to be manually updated.
1. On the Printer menu, select Finishing.
2. From the Finishers drop-down menu, select [External Finishers]. The External Finishers window displays.
3. From the configuration list, select the configuration currently online.
4. To disable the profiles you do not want, right-click the profile(s), and select [Disable]. Disable all profiles being used.
5. Remove existing finishing equipment and install the new equipment on the system as needed. Refer to your 3rd party finishing
documentation on how to manually adjust settings on the module itself.
6. On the External Finishers window, select a profile within the new configuration that you want to enable and right-click. Or, you
can also select the Catalog button and select predefined, Xerox supplied configurations.
7. Select [Enable] for all profiles. Previously enabled profiles will be disabled and placed offline. The new configuration is now
online and the selected profiles enabled.
8. Select [Close].
Related Hints and Tips
Pause behavior/ Banner sheet delivery
The Device Profile contains a Device Type field. The possible selections are Stacker and Finisher. The following two problems only
occur with DFA finishers:
You may notice that the banner sheets are delivered to the Top Tray rather than to the stacker with the job output. If you
prefer that the banner sheets be delivered to the main stacker, configure the DFA device to be a 'stacker' as noted below.
You may notice long delays before the printer stops when Pause is selected, especially when running a job that is one long
stream as opposed to multiple sets. This is because the system is attempting to get to a set boundary before stopping. If you
prefer it to stop sooner, configure the DFA device to be a 'stacker' as noted below.
NOTE: The DFE is going to do a set terminate when the pause occurs. This may not be handled correctly by finishing type
DFA devices such as booklet makers.
The Device Type options are Stacker and Finisher with Finisher as the default value. Each option configures different Pause behavior
and Banner Sheet delivery.
