4.2 Known Bugs
VF 1008 V1.02: Format Selection/Internal Stacker
When running material into the internal stacker VF 1008 adopts the size settings from BM 2000,
no matter what size you specify on the VF 1008 user interface. This will be fixed in the next SW
version.
Work-around: Set desired paper size on Booklet Maker UI.
