Conditions where stapling will be canceled.

Under the following conditions, collate will continue if it was specified along with the staple function.

If paper sizes which can not mix together are contained in a single job.
If the number of pages to staple exceeds the maximum.
If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected.
If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.
When the setting does not meet collating requirements.
When the record area for collate overflows during the job.
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.
When paper is loaded using the bypass tray.
When only 1 page is printed.
If an event occurs that forces the machine to print an error report.
If a tray specified as [Driver / Command] under [Tray Setting Priority] is selected.

When the stapling is canceled, "Staple has been cancelled." appears.
When staples have run out and [Auto Continue] is off, an error message will be displayed. Cancel the staple function in the error message to continue printing.
When printing on letterhead, stapling may not be at the specified position.
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.
Depending on the application you are using, print settings may not be stored and the printed result may not be as expected.
When you enable the staple function in the printer driver settings, make sure the [Ignore Application Collate] check box is selected on the [Finishing] menu in the printer driver. If this check box is not selected, more sets than intended might be printed.
