The varioPRINT iX-series collects the prints in one or two high capacity stackers. When additional finishing takes place, the prints are transported via the high capacity stacker to the third-party finisher.

2 |
The prints are transported to the high capacity stacker. |
|
3 |
Proof prints, calibration charts, quality control sheets, and error sheets automatically arrive in the top tray of the first high capacity stacker. Delivery on the top tray can be useful for small jobs. |

4 |
The prints are collected on the stack tray. |

When a DFD (Document Finishing Device) is installed, the high capacity stacker transports the prints to the third-party finisher. |
The high capacity stacker can stack a large volume of prints. The prints are collected on the stack tray. When a stack on the stack tray is completed, the slide door opens and the eject tray with the stack moves out in front of the high capacity stacker. The door closes and the high capacity stacker starts to fill the second stack, the eject tray remains ejected until the prints are removed. The stacking behavior can be altered.
The delivery of long light-weight media in the stacker is improved by air support. By default, the air support setting is enabled. You can disable the air support setting in the Settings Editor when the delivery of long light-weight media is not optimal (, section [Basic] ).
