The QMS 4060 Print System is a powerful, but easy-to-use 40 page-
per-minute monochrome laser print system supporting duplex print-
ing, print media in a variety of page sizes, and advanced paper han-
dling and document finishing options. This unit is also capable of
automatically sending documents to a special output tray for booklet
finishing.
)ROGHU6WDSOHU
The folding and stapling unit is capable of folding a set of 8.5" x 11" or
11" x 17" printed sheets into a booklet. This unit picks up the booklet-
printed pages from QMS 4060, folds and staples the booklet and
sends it to the Trimmer.

Depending on the number of sheets (usually 4 or more) in a booklet,
the long edge of a booklet becomes jagged, preventing pages from
being easily turned. This unit trims the long edge and sends the fin-
ished booklet to the conveyor, which collects the final booklets.
