Xerox 61xx manual Stitcher, Stacker, Binder, Top tray

System components

The stitcher

When the job requires stitched output, the stitcher cuts and inserts the wire stitches into each print set. The stitch length is related to such factors as the number of pages in the print set and the print stock weight. A single stitch can be placed in the portrait or landscape print position. Dual stitching is available for landscape and portrait prints. Stitch placement can be changed through the DocuSP software.

NOTE: For more information about setting stitch placement, refer to the on-line help system.

The stacker

The stacker collects unfinished or finished stitched or bound jobs. When the stacker is full, or the job is completed, the stacker door opens and the stacker drawer that holds the prints comes out. After the stacker drawer is unloaded, the system retracts the drawer and closes the door. The stacker also can be unloaded during the printing cycle to check the quality of the print sets by changing the printer options.

NOTE: For more information, refer to the on-line help system.

The binder

When a job requires bound output, a length of pre-glued paper tape is placed on a heated surface called the binder platen. The system aligns the pages of each print set before placing the set on the tape. Binder flappers then press the tape to the sides of the set. The combination of the heat in the binder and the pressure of the flappers glues the tape to the set.

NOTE: For information about adjusting the binder tape registration and the binder tape length, refer to the "Routine maintenance" chapter in this guide.

The top tray

Prints are delivered to the top tray because the prints are oversized or because the top tray was selected on the screen.

NOTE: Refer to the satisfaction guides in the "Technical information" chapter of this guide to find the top tray paper capacity for various stock weights.
