You can choose to continue printing or to cancel the print job if the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number of pages that can be stapled together.

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 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.
If you select [Stapleless Only Available] for [Stapleless Stapler and Staple Display Setting] in the [Data Management] tab, the job is printed with stapleless staples in the upper right or upper left regardless of the printer driver settings. If you do not specify stapleless settings using the printer driver but the job is printed with stapleless staples anyway, specify [Stapleless & Staple Available] for [Stapleless Stapler and Staple Display Setting]. For details, see System.
