If the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number of pages that can be stapled together, the machine staples the maximum number of pages together, and then staples the rest of the pages separately. To set the machine to not staple automatically if the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number that can be stapled, consult your service representative. For the number of sheets that can be stapled together, see "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.
Conditions where stapling will be canceled.
Under the following conditions, collate will continue if it was specified along with the staple function.
Staple cannot be used on the selected paper size or type.
If paper sizes which can not mix together are contained in a single 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.
When the setting does not meet collating requirements.
When the record area for collate overflows during the job.
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 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.
If Staple or Shift Collate is selected with an optional finisher installed, the paper will be output to the finisher shift tray irrespective of the setting.
If you cannot make staple settings even with a finisher installed, options may not be set correctly in the printer driver. To correct the printer driver's option settings, see "Making Option Settings for the Printer", Driver Installation Guide.
When printing on letterhead, stapling may not be at the specified position.
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 Staple is specified in the printer driver, make sure [Application Collate] is not selected. The output may not come out as desired. Specify [Printer Collate] when printing the document.
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 an 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.
