Specify the number of perforation modules available on the finisher from the corresponding list.

CPM (Cross Perforation Module)—CPM is an optional module installed on the finisher to support horizontal or cross perforation. Perforation is performed parallel to the feeding edge. If the job requires horizontal perforation, a minimum of one CPM module must be available for use on the finisher. You must select the number of modules available on the finisher to perform horizontal perforation.
PFM (Perforation Module-Vertical)—Perforation is performed in the direction that is perpendicular to the feeding edge. If the job requires vertical perforation, a minimum of one PFM module must be available for use on the finisher. You must select the number of modules available on the finisher to perform vertical perforation.
RTM (Rotary Tool Module)—An advanced vertical perforation unit that can perform two perforations at a time on the right and the left side of the printed output. You can install a maximum of two RTMs on one finisher.

In Barcode Range Min and Barcode Range Max, specify the minimum and maximum barcode range for the finisher layout.

Note: The barcode is used to identify the preset applied to a job. When you export a preset from the Duplo PC Controller computer, a barcode number is placed on the sheet when the job is printed. When you insert the printed output in the finisher, the scanner in the finisher scans the barcode and uses the preset number to automatically assign the correct layout to the job.
