Punching precautions
Follow these precautions when using the punch function.
To use this function, the optional Finisher SR5000 or Booklet Finisher SR5020 must be attached to the machine.
The punch function is not available on the model Type 3 with the optional Finisher SR5000 attached.
Punch printing will be canceled under the following conditions:
When a paper type that cannot be punched is selected.
When a paper size that cannot be punched is selected.
If positions other than those fixed for punching are specified.
If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in duplex mode and the punch position.
If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in letterhead mode and the punch position.
When the punch receptacle has become full and Auto Continue is set (Printing will continue without punching after the message appears).
If there are inconsistencies between the staple position and the punch position, when using with staple function.
When punching is canceled, “Punch has been cancelled.” appears.
If the punch function is used while perfect binding or ring binding is set, the job is reset.
Punching might not be in the specified position when printing on letterhead paper.
If you cannot make punch settings even with the optional 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 print is selected, adjust the punch position to the binding direction.
Be sure to set the punch position as same as the staple position when using it with the staple function.
Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when punching.
Depending on the application, print settings may not be enabled and printed output may not be as expected.
When setting punch 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 printing restarts after removing jammed paper, the printing position may be different, depending on the location of the jam.
If the paper jam occurred in the optional Finisher, printing will restart from the top page of the data currently being printed, or from the page where the paper jam occurred.
If the paper jam occurred in the machine, printing will restart from the page where the paper jam occurred.
Even if the paper jam occurred in the machine, the error will not be cleared unless the cover of the finisher is opened and closed.
The fold function cannot be specified if the punch function is specified.
For details about optional Finishers, see About This Machine.
