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 6-4 shows the configurations which are
compatible.
