Configurations
There are a number of possible 'Finishing' combinations for installing the BFM, Insertion Module, Finishing Transport Module (FTM)
and other external finishers on a Xerox Nuvera system. The BFM and BFM Plus or BFM Plus and BFM Plus can be installed together
to double the stacker capacity.
The diagrams below highlight some of the more common finishing configuration options. Notice that the Xerox Nuvera 288 Perfecting
System includes two print engines in its configuration. Only the Nuvera EA Production System with a MFF does not include a Sheet
Enhancement Module, which is always located directly after the print engine (or second print engine on the 288 system).
