FINISHER AND SADDLE STITCH FINISHER

The finisher and the saddle stitch finisher include the offset function, which offsets each set of copies from the preceding set for easy separation. Each set of sorted copies can also be stapled. The saddle stitch finisher can automatically staple a set of copies at the center line and fold the pages to create a pamphlet.

A punch module unit can be installed to add punch holes to copies, and an inserter can be installed to insert blank pages at specified pages.

In the following explanations, the finisher and saddle stitch finisher are referred to simply as "finisher".
