Using DFA Compliant Finishers through the Finishing Transport Module (FTM)

The FTM is an interface between the main printing area of the Xerox Nuvera 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 which are compatible with Xerox printing equipment. The FTM is a DFA-compliant device.

DFA profiles must be installed for each DFA compliant finisher installed on a Nuvera Digital Production System. Generally, the DFA profile is supplied by the finisher vendor and installed at the time of the finisher installation. You can set-up a DFA device by entering Printer manager and selecting Finishing: Device Setup. Enter the DFA compliant device's properties. Select External Finishers to complete install and enable the device.
