Selecting the stapler for a print job
Note Stapling a document requires the multifunction finisher (C8088A) or the
3,000-sheet stapler/stacker (C8085A).
The 3,000-sheet stapler/stacker or multifunction finisher can staple documents that
comprise a minimum of two sheets of paper and a maximum of 50 sheets of paper
(20-lb paper) or that are equivalent to no more than 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) in height. The
pages must be between 64 and 199 g/m
2
(17 and 53 lb) in weight for sizes that the MFP
supports.
Keep in mind these additional points about the stapler/stacker and the multifunction
finisher:
● On the stapler/stacker, the stapler bin (bin 1) can hold up to 3,000 sheets of letter/A4
and 1,500 sheets of ledger/A3.
● On the multifunction finisher, the stacker bin can hold up to 1,000 sheets stacked (not
stapled).
● Heavier and glossy media will have a stapling limit of fewer than 50 pages.
● If the job you want to have stapled consists of only one sheet, or if it consists of more
than 50 sheets, the MFP will print the job but will not staple it.
Note For information about loading staples, see “Loading the staple cartridge (multifunction
finisher)” on page 31.
Selecting the stapler
You can usually select the stapler in your software program. Some options might be
available only in the printer driver. Where and how you make selections depends on your
software program or printer driver.
Note Printer-driver settings override control-panel settings. Software program settings override
both printer-driver settings and control-panel settings.
