Notes on Configuring the Punch Function

Conditions where Punch will be canceled

Punch will be canceled when:

  • The finisher that supports the punch function is not attached.

  • The selected paper size or type is not available for punching.

  • There are inconsistencies between the orientation in two-sided printing mode and the punch position.

  • There are inconsistencies between the orientation in letterhead mode and the punch position.

  • Paper is loaded using the bypass tray.

  • There are gaps between the staple position and the punch position, when using with the staple function.

  • A tray specified as [Driver / Command] under [Tray Setting Priority] is selected.

  • The Z-fold function is specified.

Note

  • If the information icon () is displayed next to the "Punch:" list, you cannot specify punch function. Click the information () icon to check why punch function is unavailable.

  • When the punch receptacle has become full and [Auto Continue] is off, an error message will be displayed. Cancel the punch function in the error message to continue printing.

  • Punching might not be in the specified position when printing on letterhead paper.

  • When two-sided printing 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.

  • Depending on the application, print settings may not be enabled and printed output may not be as expected.

  • When Punch 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.
