Is the finisher for the xerox 4110 compatible with the xerox 700? What is the finisher code for the 700?

Re: booklet finisher 700
The 700 uses the MGA/TKX (XC) or MHA/TLB (XE).
The 4110 uses the WFE/ANX (XC) or WFF/ANY (XE).
Can they have different codes and still be compatible? Yes. Is it likely? Ehh... My guess would be NO in this case.
Regardless, you can't use the same interface unit for both. The 4110 can actually attach the finisher directly, without an interface unit. The 700 MUST have an interface unit. This is because the paper exits the machines at very different positions. The B&W machines all exit paper much higher off the floor than color units. This is the purpose of the interface unit (among other features) is to adapt the lower color machine paper exit height up to the same hight as all finishing equipment (which is the same as B&W machine paper exit height).
With the 4110, 4112, D-series and B9100-series, you can actually use a standard or booklet maker D finishers directly without an interface unit. As long as that is your only finisher. If you have the GBC or the stacker or any other more complex finishing arrangement, you must have the interface unit even with the B&W units. (Even though the paper height is already correct, the interface unit does the communicating to the additional finishing modules when you have more than just the finisher.)
For the color units (5xx, 700, C75/J75, Versant 80/180/280) you ALWAYS need the interface unit because the paper needs to be brought up to the correct traveling height. The exception is the slightly smaller finishers which can attach directly to some but not all of those units. Technically the smaller ones are called C finishers, and the bigger ones (like on the B&W machines) are called D finishers, but then our Xerox went and threw a wrench into the Fuji Xerox naming convention in the early days of 250/260 and 700 and called one of the bigger ones the "Light Production C Finisher" even though it is a D finisher... *sigh*
I say "Our Xerox" tongue-in-cheek... I'm in North America (XC territory).
