Abstract

An output document finishing module and a method of using it, relate to a document finishing module which is removably mounted to a paper sheet receiver for a non-impact printer. The module receives the printed sheets from the non-impact printer and finishes them by stapling or hole punching. The module can be removed from the receiver and replaced with conventional document receiving bins.
