Stapling Precautions
Important
❒ Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher installed.
❖ Staple printing will be canceled under the following conditions:
• If the number of pages to staple exceeds maximum.
• If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected.
• If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.
• If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in the duplex mode and
the staple position.
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in letterhead mode and
the staple position.
• If paper sizes are mixed when a different paper size is specified during a
print job.
• When feeding paper from the bypass tray.
• When combined with Rotating Collate.
• When staples have run out and Auto Continue is set (printing will contin-
ue without stapling after the message has been displayed).
• When only 1 page is printed.
• When staples have run out.
Note
❒ When the stapling is cancelled, “Staple Cancelled” appears.
❒ If Staple is selected with the optional finisher installed, the paper will be out-
put to the finisher shift tray irrespective of the setting.
❒ When printing on letterhead, stapling may not be at the specified position.
❒ If you cannot make staple settings even with finisher installed, options may
not be set correctly in the printer driver. Correct option settings in the printer
driver. For details, see the printer driver Help.
❒ When the finisher is being used for another function's job (for example, a copy
job), printing will start after that job ends.
❒ Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when stapling.
❒ When duplex printing is selected, adjust staple positions to the binding orien-
tation.
❒ Depending on the software you are using, print settings may not be saved
and the printed result may not be as expected.
❒ When setting Staple in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate op-
tion is not selected in the print settings of the application. If a collate option is
selected in the application, printing will not be as intended.
