Finishing Solution
A New Chapter in Finishing Convenience and Flexibility

The Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution transforms your most challenging job
stream into efficient, highly automated and predictable production with one touch
prepress and automatic finishing setup.
Jobs come in all shapes and sizes, and may include perfect
bound books, booklets, business cards, catalogs, greeting cards
and more, each requiring unique prepress and finishing options.
Skilled operators who understand prepress, job layout and
finishing requirements dependent on sheet sizes must handle
prepress tasks on a job-by-job basis to ensure these complex
steps are completed accurately and quickly. As the number of
jobs coming into the shop goes from a handful to dozens or
even hundreds a day, you just can’t afford to have manual
labor handling each job.
With the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution, job
preparation and finishing setup are automatic. Xerox integrates
a broad range of finishing options from world-class finishing
partners to provide automation that keeps you productive while
saving you time and reducing costly errors. This breakthrough
solution enables end-to-end prepress and finishing automation
that spans a variety of applications.
Conventional finishing can tie up valuable assets on your shop
floor. It’s also time consuming. The Xerox® IntegratedPLUS
Finishing Solution supports inline, offline and the exclusive
Xerox® dual-mode finishing that combines the efficiency of
inline finishing with the flexibility of offline finishing in a single
solution that’s compatible with both Xerox® FreeFlow® Print
Server and EFI® Fiery® print server. Offline solutions can include
integrity checking from the internal barcode scanner, so you can
validate that the expected number of booklets is completed and
that each includes the correct number of pages in the correct
sequence. You’ll find that the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing
Solution is a smart and flexible way to dramatically increase your
productivity, your customer satisfaction and your profitability.
Reduce cost and accelerate production with
a streamlined, end-to-end finishing solution.
Get more work done faster, automatically.
The Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution takes your
job from input to finished output with virtually no operator
involvement. Xerox® FreeFlow® Core enables simple and
flexible integration with upstream order entry whether you
receive jobs via a Web-to-Print solution, FTP, order entry or MIS.
FreeFlow Core automates all job preparation, including prepress
operations, and it also automates prepress operator decisions
about how a given job should be processed. During prepress,
job information is captured and communicated to your entire
supported digital printing and finishing fleet—automatically.
By avoiding manual prepress and manual finisher setup,
you’ve eliminated two major bottlenecks from your
production print workflow. Jobs automatically print and finish
to customer specifications. With no manual intervention,
the next job is already underway. You can even feed covers
into the run automatically. What once took up to 30 minutes
or more with trained personnel, now takes just minutes.
Incredible productivity increases of up to 30% or more
can be yours by removing dozens of work steps from your
end-to-end finishing process.
Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution can
increase productivity up to 30% or more.

No matter where the press sheets come from, you’ll
enjoy the time and labor savings of the Xerox®
IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution.
Enjoy inline convenience and offline
booklet-making flexibility in a single
automated finishing solution.
With the Xerox® Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder option by C.P. Bourg,
you have end-to-end automation, inline and offline. Our labor-
saving solution gives you three ways to take advantage of the
automation: inline, offline or both.
You can even incorporate non-Xerox® printers into an
IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution workflow.
The Straight-line Convenience of Automatic
Inline Finishing
With this option, FreeFlow® Core takes care of job setup during
prepress. Press sheets pass directly from the printer to the
booklet maker, along with the Job Definition Format (JDF) data
required for automatic finishing setup. Other than loading paper
and unloading booklets, the operator is free to take care of other
tasks and let the IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution handle
the details.
Typically, you have a tough choice to make when it comes to booklet making:
inline or offline. Inline means dedicating one booklet maker per print engine. Offline
finishers can delay the process and are not as convenient as inline. With the Xerox®
IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution, you no longer have such tough choices.
The Straight-line Convenience of
Automatic Inline Finishing
With this option, One-Touch Prepress takes care of job setup
during prepress. Press sheets pass directly from the printer
to the booklet maker, along with the Job Definition Format
(JDF) data required for automatic finishing setup. Other
than loading paper and unloading booklets, the operator is
free to take care of other tasks and let the IntegratedPLUS
Finishing Solution handle the details.

Maximize productivity with efficient
inline and offline booklet finishing.
When the Xerox® Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder is attached directly
to a Xerox® production print engine and an inline finisher, you
can automatically switch between inline or offline workflows—
no operator intervention is required.
The Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder can also be used as input to
an offline booklet maker. A handheld scanner is used to read
a barcode from a job-specific banner sheet that prints and
travels with the printed stacks. The barcode is used to retrieve
JDF information required for finishing. This ensures that the
finisher is automatically configured correctly for every job.
The Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder is a an exclusive Xerox® offering
and it works with the entire Xerox® production fleet of
engines. It combines the benefits of an inline booklet maker
(as configurations permit) with the convenience and cost
effectiveness of a shared offline finisher.
Your printer can be equipped with the exclusive Xerox® Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder and
send sheets directly to an inline finisher. In addition, when the attached printer is not
using the finisher, stacks from other printers or offset presses can be fed into the
Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder to use the inline booklet maker as an offline booklet maker.
The Flexibility of Automatic Offline Finishing
With this option, you can use Xerox® FreeFlow® Core to distribute
the time and labor savings of automatic setup among multiple
print engines. Your printers output booklet jobs to stack carts as
usual, with the addition of a barcoded banner sheet matched
to each job.
At the finisher, an operator simply delivers a stack cart to the
exclusive Xerox® Dual-Mode Sheet Feeder, scans the barcode
with the handheld reader, presses “Start” and walks away to
perform other tasks. If the optional internal barcode reader is
used, the operator can load the stack with multiple jobs, which
may have different finishing requirements. Based on the JDF
information, the sheet feeder will scan the banner page barcode,
retrieve job information and finish the job all while feeding
sheets from one or more trays. The internal barcode also enables
finishing of variable length booklets that have been prepared
with FreeFlow Core. The sheet feeder is even smart enough to
suspend the job and alert an operator if covers are missing.
The Best of Both Worlds with Automatic
Inline Finishing Combined with Automatic
Offline Finishing
For the ultimate in convenience and flexibility, this option
enables automation of both inline and offline jobs using the
Xerox® sheet feeder in its dual-mode capacity. The printer
to which the finisher is connected can print non-booklet jobs
to its stack cart even while the booklet maker is producing
booklets from other engines.
Suppose you receive booklet jobs such as provider directories
or benefit booklets. The jobs will be automatically prepared
for printing and sent to a printer directly attached to the
booklet maker, where the booklets are created without
operator intervention.
You could also receive a calendar job. The system
understands the required prepress and layout procedures
and performs them automatically. Once this process
is complete, you can then send that job to a different
printer where it will be printed to a stack cart, along with
a barcoded banner sheet. You can simply wheel the stack
cart over to the printer that hosts the booklet maker, scan
the barcode and the calendars are finished. The dual-
mode feature provides automation for inline or offline
configurations and is compatible with FreeFlow® or EFI®
Fiery® print servers. It’s the ultimate in asset utilization.

Efficient, On-Demand Perfect Binding
When used as part of the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution, book binding is
as simple and error free as scanning a barcode. Barcode readers on perfect binders
and trimmers enable streamlined and automated setup for optimized short run book
production. Finishers that are part of the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution
include the C.P. Bourg® 3002 Series of Perfect Binders with the Challenge® CMT
trimmers and the Standard Horizon BQ Series of perfect binders with the HT Series
of trimmers.
Automated Job Preparation
The Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution can automate
book production from prepress through finished product.
During prepress, Xerox® FreeFlow® Core automates job
preparation functions including imposition and the creation of
matching banner sheets. The sheets contain Job ID barcodes
that provide unique job setup information to the finishers.
FreeFlow Core submits both covers and content pages for
simultaneous printing, so covers and book blocks are efficiently
stacked in sequential order for proper matching from job to
job. This effectively eliminates “work in process.” This level of
automation is especially important when processing significant
quantities of book orders per day, regardless of the quantities
of books per order.
Xerox® FreeFlow Core, combined with our partners’ solutions,
will streamline perfect bound book production to help you
maximize productivity and profitability.

Automation to Fit Your Needs
The C.P. Bourg 3002 Series of Perfect Binders (BB3002/BB3102/
BB3202) offers customers a highly automated solution aimed
at minimizing the time and cost of book production, even for
short runs. The flexibility of the Xerox® FreeFlow Core prepress
automation software and the speed of these binders make it
possible to produce a wide variety of soft-cover bound books
from digital print streams with minimal operator intervention.
At the heart of the solution is FreeFlow Core’s ability to directly
control automated finishing workflows. It seamlessly connects
order entry systems to simple automated prepress functions.
FreeFlow Core also powers the sheet level integrity and cover/
book block matching capabilities of the Bourg systems as well
as automated trimmer setup with the Challenge CMT 130/330.
When configured with the Challenge CMT 130 or 330 trimmers,
the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution delivers a highly
automated full-bleed workflow—with reduced touchpoints from
sheet to book! For the first time, cut-sheet stacks from the BSFEx
can be matched with preprinted color covers with little or no
operator intervention.
Xerox and its partners have collaborated to create a powerful
offline perfect bound book solution featuring minimal
operator involvement, increased efficiencies and incredible
user-friendliness.
Flexible Perfect Binding
The Standard Horizon BQ-270V single-clamp binder offers
high-quality production perfect binding with fully automated
operation, push-button simplicity and on-demand production
of variable thickness books. It’s flexible, so it can handle a wide
variety of stocks and coatings. It’s efficient, so a single operator
can produce up to 500 books per hour.
The Standard Horizon BQ-470 fully-automated four-clamp
perfect binder is easy to operate, with minimal operator training
required. It produces up to 1,350 perfect bound books per hour.
The BQ-470 can bind books up to 2.5" thick and can support both

Trimmer featuring automated job setups and quick changeovers
and the HT-80 Three-Knife Trimmer that can be used inline
with the Standard BQ-470 perfect binder or offline with either
perfect binder.
With the Standard Horizon binders, FreeFlow® Core delivers a
JDF description of the job to Ultimate Bindery. Ultimate Bindery
validates the JDF description against the binder’s requirements
and generates finishing instructions that are used by pXnet-lite
to automatically configure the perfect binder and the trimmer.

The pXnet-lite bindery control system for
digital production printing offers enhanced
automated offline workflows for Xerox®
FreeFlow® devices.
As part of FreeFlow Core, the new pXnet-lite features
simple, automated setup of your JDF-enabled Horizon
finishers. Finishing instructions for each job are
automatically converted to JDF, stored and then retrieved
at the finisher by scanning the barcode on the banner
sheet that accompanies the print job. pXnet-lite can
support multiple JDF-enabled finishing devices.
Customers can grow with the solution to the full-
featured pXnet as needed. Horizon pXnet-lite delivers the
automated finishing setups you need today for profitable
short-run production, integrated within your existing
Xerox® workflow.

The Convenience of Inline Finishing
As run sizes get closer to one, inline finishing can be the most
cost effective option. The IntegratedPLUS Finishing solution’s
enhanced automation makes a true one-touch workflow possible.
The solution uses job ticketing and JDF control supported by a
wide range of Xerox® production printers and finishers. During
prepress, FreeFlow® Core takes care of job imposition and
preflight tasks. It even sends a complete job ticketed, ready-
to-print PDF file to the print server without any operator
intervention. Press sheets then pass directly from the printer
to the booklet maker, along with the JDF data required for
automatic finishing setup. Other than loading paper and
unloading booklets, the operator is free to take care of other
tasks and let the IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution handle
the details.
Horizon ColorWorks PRO/PRO Plus
The Horizon ColorWorks PRO and the Horizon ColorWorks
PRO Plus are compact multifunctional finishers that perform
booklet making, creasing, bleed trimming, folding, stitching
and stacking. This finishing system performs corner, side and
center stapling along with booklet folding and face trimming.
Finished booklets are delivered to a motorized integrated
vertical stacker.
Plockmatic Pro 50/35 Booklet Makers
The Plockmatic Pro 50 or Pro 35 Booklet Maker is the
production inline option for professional users who require
booklets of highest quality at rated speed —including the
option to add color covers. The Pro 50/35’s compact design
allows customers to choose only the modules they need
based on their applications. It can also be used as a walk-up
device in offline mode. A small footprint saves floor space and
enables a smooth workflow environment delivering booklets
with a professional look and feel at an affordable cost.
C.P. Bourg® BDFEx and BMEx Booklet Makers
Now you can stitch, fold and trim while producing booklets
and other finished documents faster, at full press size and
with guaranteed set integrity for zero waste. With the award-
winning C.P. Bourg E-Series Booklet Makers on your line,
creating anything from CD jackets to oversized stitch-fold-trim
booklets and calendars in quantities of one to thousands, on
demand, is achieved automatically.
When Inline Booklet Making Pays for Itself
Eliminate manual slitting, cutting and creasing
setup when finishing a wide variety of full-
bleed applications with the Duplo DC-645.
Effortlessly produce a wide variety of applications such as brochures, pamphlets,
greeting cards, postcards and business cards when using the JDF-enabled Duplo
DC-645 Offline cutter/slitter/creaser with the Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution.
The DC-645 provides unparalleled versatility to slit, cut and crease documents in a
single pass at 26 sheets per minute.
Ease of Operation
The Xerox® IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution automates
production from prepress through printing and finishing.
As part of the automated prepress, Xerox® FreeFlow® Core
automates job preparation, including imposition and creation
of a job banner sheet. The banner sheet, which accompanies
each job, includes operator instructions on how to load the job
into the finisher. It also provides the name of the job for easy
identification in the Duplo JDF console.
FreeFlow Core then delivers a JDF description of the job to
Ultimate Bindery. Ultimate Bindery validates the JDF description
against the finisher’s requirements, and translates and enhances
the job description to create finishing instructions for slitting,
cutting and creasing operations.
Consistent Accuracy
To finish a job, the operator simply loads the stack in the feeder
per instructions printed on the banner page and releases the
matching job in the Duplo Console. Instead of requiring an
operator to inspect every job and define the placement for each
cut, crease and slit, the finisher setup is automatically performed
based on JDF instructions.
This flexible and efficient finisher helps maximize productivity
and reduces the chance of operator error.
Versatile Productivity
The DC-645 is capable of performing 6 slits, 15 cuts and 10
creases per sheet to maximize productivity. The finisher can
accommodate substrates up to 350 gsm as well as larger
sheet sizes. It’s fast and it’s designed for heavy-duty production
environments. Optional modules for additional applications are
also available.
