Using DFA Compliant Finishers through the Finishing Transport Module (FTM)
If you have a 3rd party finisher attached to your system, you will also have a Finishing Transport Module (FTM). The FTM is an
interface between the main printing area of the Xerox Nuvera EA Production System or Xerox Nuvera 288 Perfecting System and a
DFA-compliant finishing device of some type, such as a stapler, binder, booklet maker or folder.
External Finishers Available on the Xerox Nuvera System
There are a number of DFA-compliant inline finishers that can be installed on the system. You must have an FTM installed to add a 3rd
party finisher. Here is a list of some of the finishers available.
What is DFA?
Document Finishing Architecture (DFA) is a set of published specifications that allow finisher vendors to develop in-line devices that are
compatible with Xerox printing equipment. The FTM is a DFA-compliant device.
DFA Configurations and Profiles
A set of default DFA profiles are preinstalled on the system for each DFA-compliant finisher attached to the Xerox Nuvera System.
Generally, the DFA profile is supplied by the finisher vendor and installed at the time of the finisher installation.
Managing DFA Configurations and Profiles
To switch to a different DFA configuration on your system, refer to
Changing DFA Configurations for 3rd Party Finishers.
Refer to your System Administrator on how to create, edit, enable/disable, and delete DFA Profiles and Configurations.
Select the 3rd Party External Finisher as the output device
After you have set up the basic print sections of your job and the System Administrator has defined and enabled the finisher
configuration and profile for your system, perform the following steps to use the FTM and select the finishing output at the user interface.
