How to use

Install the booklet maker according to the Office Finisher and printer installation instructions provided by Xerox, ensuring the accessory is securely attached to a compatible finisher. Configure finishing settings from the printer driver or control panel to select saddle-stitch and folding options appropriate for the document size and page count. Load printed sheets into the finisher; the booklet maker will fold and staple sets automatically to produce finished booklets. Verify sample output and adjust settings for paper weight and booklet length as needed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, use paper types and weights supported by your base printer and finisher. Test with a short run to confirm fold alignment and staple position before larger jobs. When producing thicker booklets, check the document page count and paper thickness to ensure proper saddle-stitch stapling and to avoid jams.
