Paper Handling: Paper Output/Finishing

The paper output handling options on workgroup products
can range from duplex output to saddle-stitch booklet mak-
ing capabilities. Many devices offer a choice of finishers
providing a low-cost, minimum footprint solution, or a high
capacity, fully-featured solution.
Stapling
Lower cost stapler units often have a 15- to 30-sheet maximum capacity
and are often limited to corner stapling. Floor-standing, higher cost finish-
ers should offer 50-sheet capability and handle corner and double stapling.
Saddle stitching heads up the finishing capabilities, allowing users to cre-
ate folded, center-stapled booklets. Some workgroup device saddle-stitch
finishers only handle 10 sheets (40-page booklets) with others handling up
to 15 sheets (60-page booklets).
Mail Bin Units and Offset Output
Many workgroup devices offer offset stacking (where each set is offset
from the next) to make it easier to separate jobs. Some offer physical mail
bin units allowing each user to send jobs to their own output area. Most
mail bin units limit delivery to unfinished jobs. A multi-tray finisher can also
offer some form of job separation, typically used to route different types of
job (fax, print, copy) for easier identification.

Finishing Options

The Sharp MX-
7000N has a variety
of finisher options.
The three position
finisher offers dual
output trays, corner
staples, side staples,
and two staples.
The saddle-stitch
finisher offers dual
output trays, a book
output tray, two
staples, and up to
15-sheet capacity
(60 page booklets)
saddle-stitch book-
lets. A paper pass unit
is required with the
above finishers. A hole
puncher unit which
offers 2/3 hole punch (2/4 in some markets) can be added to the above
finishers.
The floor-standing post-process insertion finisher, which is used to
impose finishing options onto post-printed pages without going through
the fuser unit, can be added to the device. It includes a 100-sheet capacity
output tray, multi-position stapling for up to 50 sheets, and an optional hole
punch.
