5 Finishing Operation
5.1 Supported Folder Models
As of the writing of this document, the 6030/50 operates with the following folders which
implement the Xerox Generic Finishing Interface (GFI):
•Tameran PrintFold 2510
•Gera Mondial B2
5.2 Limitations
5.2.1 GFI Compliance
The 6030 and 6050 Printers do not yet fully comply with the Xerox GFI specification. As a result,
some system features, such as Automatic Title Block Placement are not supported. The user
must manually locate the title block for proper fold orientation.
For a more complete folding solution, a configuration using the Accxes controller, a 6050 Printer,
and one of the supported folders listed in the previous section is suggested.
5.2.2 Automatic Title Block Placement
Enhanced Automatic Title Block Placement is available in AccXES controller equipped 6030 and
6050 configurations. However, some C-size and A2-size folds are still not supported due to a
lack of rotation support by the 6030/6050 embedded controller.
For a more complete folding solution, a configuration using the Accxes controller, a 6050 Printer,
and one of the supported folders listed in the previous section is suggested.

6 Known Issues
Paper sizes as viewed in the Web Administrator’s Tool:
30 x 42 printing has been implemented by re-defining JIS-B series in the America’s to support
this paper size. The artifact of doing this is there are sizes of 3F to 3A now listed in the Web
Administrator’s Tool. 3E, the long length, and user defined length of this size (3EL and U3E) are
the only sizes that are really relevant. The others should be ignored.
Canceling jobs takes a long time:
When canceling a job, every sheet in the job is an entity in the queue and is canceled individually.
The canceling operation works a little smoother if the printer is taken off-line first by pressing the
[Menu] button before the [Job Cancel] button is pressed.
