Conditions where stapling will be canceled.

Under the following conditions, collate will continue if it was specified along with the staple function.

- If paper sizes which can not mix together are contained in a single job.

- If the number of pages to staple exceeds the maximum.

- If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected.

- If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.

- When the setting does not meet collating requirements.

- When the record area for collate overflows during the job.

- If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.

- If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in duplex mode and the staple position.

- If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in letterhead mode and the staple position.

- When paper is loaded using the bypass tray.

- When only 1 page is printed.

- If an event occurs that forces the machine to print an error report.

- If a tray specified as [Driver / Command] under [Tray Setting Priority] is selected.

- When the stapling is canceled, `"Staple has been cancelled."` appears.

- When staples have run out and [Auto Continue] is off, an error message will be displayed. Cancel the staple function in the error message to continue printing.

- When printing on letterhead, stapling may not be at the specified position.

- 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.

- Depending on the application you are using, print settings may not be stored and the printed result may not be as expected.

- When you enable the staple function in the printer driver settings, make sure the [Ignore Application Collate] check box is selected in the PCL 5e printer driver or [Printer Collate] is selected in the PCL 6 printer driver. If they are not selected, more sets than intended might be printed.
