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.

If Staple or Shift Collate is selected with an optional finisher installed, the paper will be delivered 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 "Configuring Option Settings for the Printer", Driver Installation Guide.
If letterhead is used for printing, stapling may not be possible at the specified position.
If two-sided 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.
If Staple is specified in the printer driver, make sure [Application Collate] is not selected. The output may not come out as you want. Specify [Printer Collate] when printing the document.
When printing restarts after removing jammed paper, the printing positions may be different, depending on where the jam occurred.
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.
