3.7 SETTING THE RIGHT EXPECTATIONS
Product Positioning:
StreamPunch provides a flexible, cost effective punching solution for light to medium level production
oriented customers.
• Designed for customers that have the need to punch their documents at a maximum of 60-70% of
their overall workflow.
• Recommended punching limit to 200k sheets per month. (600k sheets in bypass mode)
• Die Sets will decrease in performance over time based on the types of stocks and weights that are
being punched.
• GBC guarantees a minimum of 500k punches per die set. However, if paper stock punched is
typically 20lb bond, then up to 2 million punches can be achieved.
• Should be regarded as a long-term supply item.
Interposer:
Improved communication has now been developed to allow for use with the interposer when the
StreamPunch is in-line.
SR841 Finisher Stack Capacity:
The Finisher has a stack capacity of 3000 sheets.
• Some Die Set patterns can create larger stacked output.
• GBC recommends offloading stacker output at around 2000 sheets.
8.5” x 11” (LEF) Only:
StreamPunch is designed to punch this size only (LEF) no exceptions
. Attempting to punch a sheet
size other than 8.5” x 11” (LEF) will cause a jam.
• StreamPunch cannot
punch tabs. Tabs will have to be run, punched and inserted offline.
• Use a colored sheet insert (instead of the tab) in the job workflow for easier tab insertion after the
job has been run.
Running Jobs:
StreamPunch is currently activated manually by the touch of a button.
• Cannot be activated from the Printer Touch Panel Display.
• It cannot be activated from the driver at your PC.
• For the Aficio 1060, 1075, 2051, 2060 & 2075, MT-C3, VC-1, BC-3 the document will need to be
rotated 180 degrees to allow for punching on the correct side of the document.
• Jobs sent to the StreamPunch from the desktop currently have 4 minutes to begin printing from
manual punch activation.
• Complex jobs may need to be sent to the Document Server first and then punched.

The GBC StreamPunch is capable of punching a variety of hole-punch patterns by simply changing
the Die Set. Die sets can be changed in seconds without tools. The Die Sets currently available are
