booklet finishers

mmelrodSenior P4P'er

I am competing in a deal where the customer wants a booklet finisher that will allow their finished booklets to fall into a box so they can run the system unattended. I am proposing the Konica Minolta C552 which has this type of finisher. The customer has stated the Kyocera and Canon models have this finishing option (not sure on the model numbers from each manufacturer, waiting for customer to confirm). Anyone know for certain whether or not the Kyocera or Canon models that are comparable to the KM C552 have this type of finishing option?

thanks.

I personally do not know but we have Canon in our line. There is nothing of such that I have seen.

What model numbers are they looking at from Canon and Kyo?

This may be something as simple as putting an empty box and the end of the bookletmaker and removing the bookletmaker stack tray thus allowing the books to fall into the box.

Most booklet finishers can do this. All you have to do is remove the stop/catch guard at the end of the tray and they slide down the tray and fall very nicely in the a box. It does not work neatly if you just remove the tray.

Yeah, that's I am gathering from my research. The old remove the guide and fall into a box trick.

Yeah, this application isn't for the low-end, but for people wanting to do more booklets than the finisher will generally hold.

my customer responded back that the models were a minimum of 55 ppm but didnt remember the model numbers.

so, the only kyo and canon models i think are comparable are the Kyo 550c and Canon c7055. i dont see anything in either of the specs or brochures that speak to a conveyor booklet finisher.

Some but not all Toshiba Saddle Stitch Finishers can do the "fall into the box" trick. You have to remove part of the output hopper and disconnect a sensor.

I believe for the 35 - 45 cpm Black and Colour Copiers these Finishers are actually relabelled Canon product.
