NOTES
● Do not press on the saddle stitch finisher (particularly the offset tray).
● Be careful about the offset tray during printing because the tray moves up and down.
● The saddle stitch finisher requires the installation of other peripheral devices in order to be functional and cannot
be installed together with some other devices. The table on page 8-4 shows the configurations which are
compatible.
