5.2.1.3 Lexmark X860de, X862de and X864de MFPs Optional Advanced Finisher Functions
The Lexmark X860de, X862de and X864de MFPs supports a Standard Finisher and an Advanced
Finisher. The Advanced Finisher supports Corner staple, Dual staple (IPDS Edge stitch with 2 staples),
Center Fold (IPDS Center Fold-in), and Saddle staple (IPDS Saddle stitch-in). The printer automatically
rotates the text 180 degrees for short-edge fed paper and 90 degrees for long-edge fed paper. If necessary,
reformat your job on the host with a different text orientation to avoid stapled or folded sets that are hard
to read.
Finishing functions may not be applied to all paper sizes. Refer to your printer or finisher documentation
to determine the finishing support and staple location for various paper sizes.
The Printer device type must always be *IPDS.
How to specify the Printer File parameters for Center Fold, and Saddle staple is shown below. Examples
for Corner staple and Dual staple are in section 5.2.1.2 on page 54.
