Efficient Finishing
Xerox

 Dual-Mode  
Sheet Feeder (BSFEx)
As a standalone device or as part of the 
Xerox
®
 IntegratedPLUS Solution for Booklets, 
the Xerox
®
 Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder (BSFEx) 
provides an efficient means of preparing jobs 
for finishers, providing automated finisher 
set up and for sharing a finishing device with 
multiple printers. A printer that is equipped 
with the BSFEx inline can bypass the BSFEx 
Sheet Feeder and send sheets directly to 
the inline finisher. In addition, stacks from 
other printers can be fed into the BSFEx to 
use that inline finisher when the attached 
printer is not using it. The BSFEx can also be 
used as input to offline auto-finishers if inline 
finishing doesn’t fit into your business plan.
The BSFEx includes two separate feeding 
compartments: a lower high-capacity tray 
that can accommodate pile heights up to 
20" (508 mm) and an upper feed drawer 
that accommodates pile heights up to 6.3" 
(160 mm) of cover or insert sheets. When 
in bypass mode, the upper feed tray can 
be used as a covers feeder. A hand scanner 
is used to read JDF data from job-specific 
printed banner sheets that travel with the 
stacks. The BSFEx is equipped with OMR 
mark recognition, double and missed sheets 
detection from both compartments and 
detects when either tray is empty.
Benefits
•  Combines the benefits of an inline finishing 
device with the convenience and cost  
effectiveness of sharing one finisher with 
multiple printers.
•  Saves time and enables you to produce  
more jobs through automated setup of files  
and automated setup of inline or offline  
finishers with the Xerox
®
 IntegratedPLUS 
Finishing Solution for Booklets. 
•  Adds integrity by allowing printed stacks to  
easily be moved to the finisher without splitting 
the stack.
•  In offline mode, the attached finisher can run  
at up to 15,000 sheets/hour.
•  Maximizes load balancing between printers.
