4. High Capacity Stacker unit
5. Perfect Binder
Stapler Stacker Unit
The stapler stacker unit which can hold up to
3,000 sheets, can staple up to 100-page
documents in multiple positions using a
production class inline clinch wire stapler.
The stapler supports subset finishing, giving
users the ability to incorporate multiple
finishing options into a single print run. This
is a useful function when producing copies of
litigation discovery materials where repeat
sets must comply with the exact same
finishing/document production format as the
original master set. The stapler stacker unit
can be added to any of the other three
finisher options, and in conjunction with the
high capacity stacker units.
Multi-Folding Unit
This module is attracting a lot of attention
due to its wide variety of folding capabilities,
taking the Océ VarioPrint 1105
beyond the document production folding
capabilities of competing units. The multi-
folding unit sits directly to the left of the main

engine unit.
The unit includes not only the folding capability
for the device, but also the dual post-process
insertion and selectable two, three and four-hole
punch capability. While the absence of the
folding function may not be a major issue for
the back office environment choosing the high
capacity stackers, the omission of a post-
process insertion capability may be an issue.
Some fold functions are designed to be used
on a sheet by sheet basis, in preparation for
final handout or mailing (V fold, letter fold,
double parallel, gatefold), while others are
used within the production of a larger multi-
page document, allowing for example the
incorporation of a ledger/A3 page into a
letter/A4 document (Z-fold).
The post process insertion (PPI) unit, which
is mounted on top of the folding module
includes two separate sheet insertion feed
trays of 500 sheets, each capable of handling
up to 170 lb. Index/300 gsm. The PPI allows
operators to incorporate pre-printed sheets
and other stocks that might be damaged in
the high temperature of the fuser unit. We
were disappointed to find that the PPI can
only be used to add cover pages, and
cannot be used in conjunction with the sheet
insertion function to incorporate pre-printed
pages within the bulk of the document. This
feature is available on some competing
units.
High Capacity Stackers
The Océ VarioPrint 1105 has
options to stack up to 10,000
sheets via 2 high capacity
stackers. Sheets can be stacked
via the main tray, where it is
possible to remove the printed
output via a trolly. The sub tray
offers the possibility for an extra
500 sheets paper output, without
the need to open the main stacker
tray.
Perfect Binder
The Océ VarioPrint 1105 also
offers the perfect binder, which
is perfect to use for glue-bounded
books. The perfect binder can
handle books up to 30mm,
which are collected together
with a pre-printed cover via the
insert tray. The melted glue
chips produce a glue strip on the
spine of the collected output.
Where the face-edge cover
trimmer, cuts the cover the get
a glue bounded booklet. The
output tray makes it possible
to stack the bounded booklets
up to 50 pieces.
