Maximum stapled
set thickness
Maximum-stapled set thickness is 100 sheets or equivalent (see table
below). The operator must limit the number of sheets in stapled jobs
depending on paperweight.

Paper sizes to
main tray
Paper sizes supported with this release to the main tray (stapled and
unstapled):
• Process direction 7.0 - 18.5 in. (203 mm - 457 mm)
• Cross Process direction 8.0 -12 in. (240 mm - 305 mm)
• Paper weights supported with this release: Plain papers 52 -250 gsm,
coated papers 90 -250 gsm.
• Transparencies can be run. A separator sheet is recommended.
Paper sizes to
top tray
Paper sizes supported with this release to the top tray:
• The above paper sizes plus A5, SRA3, and Statement can be run to the
top tray.

Registration with
tabs and covers
27918 Tabs and oversized covers registration is not optimized. This includes
stapled and unstapled sets. The first 200 - 500 sheets from a cold start
may exhibit this problem. Machines left in standby recover much more
quickly.
Small stapled
sets
When running small-stapled sets (less than or equal to 15 sheets), the
quantity is automatically limited to 100 sets (for staple build up). After 100
sets, the BFM will unload regardless of the chosen stack limits.
Choose offset when running small (less than or equal to 15) stapled sets.
Coated papers are recommended to be unloaded after 50 small-stapled
sets due to staple marks.
Stacker limits
Stacker limits: See Appendix A Stacker Limits for details regarding the
Improve Set Registration, Improve Initial Pages Within a set, Bindexer, and
Main Capacity settings. These settings can be used to optimize
performance of the BFM for different conditions.
