Bin 2 receives output from the compiler bin. Finisher bin selection is made from the System Menu at the User Interface, via PCL commands or from printer drivers. Use with Mailbox The finisher is designed to be used with console versions of the DocuPrint N32.
Job offsetting is configured either via the User Interface (UI) or through SNMP commands. Job offsetting is a system function; it cannot be configured from the printer drivers. Supported Paper All sizes of paper can be sent to the finisher except A6 and Envelopes.
When a bin is full and the stack height does not allow additional sets to be sent to it, the destination of additional sets directed to the full bin is determined by the Output Timeout system parameter in the printer’s System Menu. See Table 2 on page 17. Safety Limitation When Finisher Bin 3 is selected, the bins are raised to the highest position.
Bin Capacity Each finisher Bin is capable of stacking up to 667 sheets of 20 lb. paper for long edge feed (LEF) paper sizes and 334 sheets for short edge feed (SEF) paper sizes. The maximum stack height is decreased when stapled sets are delivered to each bin, since stapled sets affect the stability of the output stack.
Stapling Stapling positions can be sent from the System Menu at the User Interface (See Table 7 on page 19.) or by PJL commands. Positions See “Finisher Specific Commands” (page 32).

Job Offsetting The finisher, like the Face-Down Bin, supports offsetting output between successive jobs or multiple collated sets of a single job. A system parameter configures the offset function to OFF (no offset), or ON (toggle offset portion of sequential jobs or multiple collated sets of a single job.) Job offset is a system function that cannot be configured by the driver.
Display shows “Bin Full”. Printer waits until the Bin is emptied. Immediately changes destination to Bin 2. If Bin 2 is full, output is directed to Bin 3.
D o c u P r i n t N 2 4 / N 3 2 F i n i s h e r U s e r G u i d e It is possible to send a combination of commands to select an output destination or feature that cannot be processed by the printer. Table 3 describes printer operations when these exceptions occur. Printer Operation Destination is ignored.
