Stapling precautions

Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher or optional booklet finisher attached.

Staple printing will be canceled if any of the following occur:

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 multiple copies are specified but collate is not set.
If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.
When fold (except Z-fold) and staple are specified at the same time.
When staples have run out and [When Staple Errors Occur] is set to [Continue Printing], printing will continue without stapling.
If the size of the paper after it is Z-folded is not supported for stapling.
When only 1 page is printed.
When the required conditions for collate are not fulfilled.
When the storage area for sort printing has overflowed while printing the job.
If multiple paper sizes are specified for the document.

If staple or job separation is selected with the optional finisher or optional booklet finisher installed, paper will be output to the finisher shift tray with job separation. If an output tray that cannot perform job separation is specified, paper will be output to that tray without job separation.
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, make sure that 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 or optional booklet 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 printer, printing will restart from the page where the paper jam occurred.
- Even if the paper jam occurred in the printer, the error will not be cleared unless the cover of the finisher is opened and closed.
