Using DFA Compliant Finishers through the Finishing Transport Module (FTM)
The FTM is an interface between the main printing area of the Xerox Nuvera EA Digital Production System and a DFA-compliant finishing device of some type, such as a stapler, binder, booklet maker or folder.
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 Profiles
A set of default DFA profiles are preinstalled on the system for each DFA-compliant finisher attached to the Xerox Nuvera EA Digital Production 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 and delete DFA Profiles and Configurations.
