MEDIA INPUT  
Substrate (media) handling is a core requirement of every 
device.  If a device cannot print a file on specific media 
desired by the user, it hardly matters how fast the print 
engine is, or how many pages it can produce.   
 
A device’s media-handling capability basically concerns 
how it can handle two key criteria:  the media size and 
media weight it can feed, as well as the maximum number 
of pages that can be loaded in the device’s drawers, trays, 
etc.  The greater the media capacity, the less time users 
will spend reloading media. 
 
 
The 
e-STUDIO3520c
 shown above equipped with two 
standard 550-sheet paper drawer, 100-sheet bypass tray, 
and optional 2,500-sheet tandem large–capacity feeder.

MEDIA OUTPUT AND FINISHING 
Office workgroup devices’ media-output handling options 
range from duplex printing to saddle-stitch booklet making.  
Many devices offer a choice of finisher/staplers, which 
provide a low-cost, minimum footprint solution, or a high-
capacity, fully featured solution such as multi-position 
stapling, saddle-stitch booklet maker and/or document hole 
puncher. 
BERTL evaluates these functions looking at how the same 
job outputs at different speeds when different finishing 
options are specified.  The impact of the finishing selection 
is determined by timing jobs that are sent to a device with 
various finishing settings.   
Stapling 
Lower-cost finisher/stapler units often have a 15- to 30-
sheet maximum stapling capability and are often limited to 
corner stapling.  Floor-standing, higher-cost finishers 
typically provide 50-sheet capability and provide both 
corner and double stapling.   
 
Saddle-stitch booklet making allows users to create folded, 
center-stapled booklets.  Some saddle-stitch finishers only 
handle 10 sheets (for producing 40-page booklets), while 
others handle up to 15 sheets (for producing 60-page 
booklets).   
Mail Bin Units and Offset Output 
Many workgroup devices provide offset stacking (each set 
is offset from the next) to make it easier to separate jobs.  
Some also provide physical mailbox units that allow each 
user to send jobs to their own mailbox tray.  However, most 
mailbox units do not accept finished (such as stapled) jobs.  
A multi-tray finisher can also offer some form of job 
separation typically used to separate different types of jobs 
(fax, print, copy) for easier identification.   
Post-Process Insertion (PPI) 
A post-process insertion unit can be used to automatically 
insert pages into completed print or copy jobs.  These 
inserts can include chapter covers, color pages and heat-
sensitive media.
