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 duplex mode and the staple position.

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

  • If the paper contains sheets of differing lengths but same widths (like A4Landscape and A3 Portrait,11"multiplication17"Landscape and 81/2"multiplication11"Portrait), and the paper sizes are mixed on a single job.

  • When feeding paper from the bypass tray.

  • When staples have run out and Auto Continue is set (Printing will continue without stapling after the message has been displayed).

  • When only 1 page is printed.

  • When staples have run out.

Note

  • When the stapling is canceled, “Staple has been cancelled.” appears.

  • If Staple or Shift Collate is selected with the optional Internal Finisher 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 Internal 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 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.

  • When using the optional Internal Finisher following paper sizes can be stapled using the Mixed Size mode.

    • A3Landscape and A4Portrait

    • B4Landscape and B5Portrait

    • 11"multiplication17"Landscape and 81/2"multiplication11"Portrait
