Abstract
A copier or printer is pivotably attached to a finisher module, such as for stapling. A pivotable mount is disposed toward the back of the copier, so that an opening can be formed toward the front of the copier, exposing an interface between the copier and the finisher module. A latch is used to hold the finisher module to the copier in a closed position.
