Stapling Precautions
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.
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.
If paper sizes are mixed when a different paper size is specified during a print job.
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 duplex printing is selected, adjust staple positions to the binding orientation.
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 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 tracing paper, the vertical/horizontal position of the staples is opposite to the vertical/horizontal position specified in the printer driver settings.
Also, staples on the front cover sheet come out reversed.
