(standard equipment)
PRODUCT APPEARANCE
The first few slides illustrate what the machine looks like, with some of the options
connected.
Here we see a finisher and an LCT attached.
The ARDF (capacity: 100 sheets) is standard equipment for this model, not an
option. It has a CIS built in, which allows both sides of a double-sided original to be
scanned at the same time.
The three built-in paper trays are as follows:
¾Tray 1: 1550 sheet x 2, tandem LCT
¾Trays 2 and 3: 550 sheets each
¾In addition, the built-in bypass tray has a capacity of 100 sheets.
¾Optional LCT: 4,000 sheets (2,500 if the LG/B4 kit is installed)
¾Adding it all up, the machine has a maximum paper capacity of 8,300 sheets
(A4/LT).
The tandem tray (main frame, tray 1) can only handle sizes up to A4/LT. The
DLT/A3 tray allows tray 1 to hold sizes up to DLT/A3 (1000 sheets). However, this
will not be a tandem tray.
Trays 2 and 3 are adjustable to hold a wide range of paper sizes.
The LCT can only handle sizes up to A4/LT. The LCT can be fitted with an LG/B4
option to allow it to hold paper sizes up to LG and B4.
¾However, if the tray is modified in this way, some short paper sizes, such as
A4SEF, cannot be added, because the end fence will not reach them. A4LEF
can still be used.
The cover interposer is used with the finishers. It inserts cover sheets in the
locations specified by the user.

Interposer Tray
This slide shows how cover sheets are fed into the paper feed path between the
mainframe and the finisher.
The cover interposer allows cover sheets to be inserted at the times selected by
the users. It is installed between the mainframe and the finisher, but is like an ADF,
feeding cover sheets into the paper feed path between the copier and the finisher.
¾It requires a finisher, but cannot be installed if the optional mailbox is
installed.

Product Appearance
Optional Mailbox (nine bins)
Optional Booklet
Finisher
Optional Z-folding unit
PRODUCT APPEARANCE
Here, the cover interposer is replaced with a nine-bin mailbox.
A z-folding unit is also installed. This can only be used with a finisher (B700 or
B701, not the B706).
¾It must be installed between the finisher and the copier.
The mailbox bin capacity is 100 sheets per bin. The mailbox can only be installed if
a B700/B701 finisher is installed. But it cannot be used with the B706 finisher.
¾In the B700/B701 finishers, a junction gate directs paper either to the proof
tray or to the other output trays. If the mailbox is installed, another junction
gate inside the base of the mailbox then directs paper either up to the mailbox
or out to the proof tray.
¾The B706 finisher cannot divert paper up to the mailbox.

Paper Path to the Mailbox
Proof Tray Junction Gate
(Inside the Finisher)
Entrance Junction Gate
(Inside the Mailbox)
In this model, the mailbox is connected to the optional finisher, not to the main
copier. This is unusual.
The proof tray junction gate diverts the paper either out to the proof tray or into the
finisher for various stapling, shift sorting, or folding operations.
If the mailbox is installed, the entrance junction gate inside the base of the mailbox
then diverts the paper either up into the mailbox or out to the finisher proof tray.

zThis finisher has two trays: a proof tray on top of the finisher

zThis finisher contains a jogger mechanism for z-folded output.
But the z-folding unit cannot be attached to this finisher when
installed on the B140/B246 series.
There are three types of finisher for this model.
A range of hole punch units is available for each finisher.
The B706 finisher with 100-sheet stapler also has an optional jogger unit which
tidies up the copy stack as it leaves the finisher exit. The jogger unit can only be
used with the B706.
