), and the paper sizes are mixed on a single job.

If Staple or Shift Collate is selected with the optional Finisher SR0003, Finisher SR790, or SR3000 installed, the paper will be output 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 SR790, Finisher SR3020, or SR3030 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 orientation.
Depending on the application you are using, print settings may not be stored and the printed result may not be as expected.
When setting Staple in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate option 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.
