Preprocessing and Postprocessing Instructions
The printers have three interface ports. These ports may be equipped with pre/postprocessor (Pre/Post) or Advanced Function postprocessing (AF Post) device interface adaptors as shown in the following table.
Port 1 comes with a Pre/Post device interface adaptor standard. The following table assumes that adaptor is installed.

See ªCon®guring Preprocessing/Postprocessing Devices/Interfacesº on page 241 for details on con®guring devices that are being attached to the device interface adaptors that reside in the three ports in the printer.
Powering On and Off Pre/Post Devices
The following procedures may be necessary for the protection of the operator and the equipment.
The printers recognize electronically attached devices only if those devices are
Attention!
To avoid damage to the printer stacker table, switch power on to any postprocessing device before you switch power on to the printer to which it is attached. For the same reason, switch power off to the postprocessing device last.
If a preprocessing or postprocessing device stops before the printer becomes Ready, the printer cannot detect that the device is stopped. A forms jam results when printing begins.
Enabling/Disabling Pre/Post Interfaces
The service representative con®gures attached preprocessing and postprocessing devices at time of their installation and sets the state of each device to Enabled or Disabled. As con®gurations change from time to time, you may have to change the preprocessing/postprocessing device interface con®gurations and to enable or disable the devices. Make these changes from the Display Touch Screen windows.
If a burster/trimmer/stacker (BTS) or an offsetter postprocessing device is to have its enabled status changed, you must make con®guration changes in both the Con®gure Printer procedure (see ªCon®guring the Printerº on page 219) and in the Con®gure Pre/Postprocessor procedure (see ªCon®guring Preprocessing/Postprocessing Devices/Interfacesº on page 241).
