Each copy set can be stapled together.
If you select staple without having the stapler cartridge for saddle stitch set in the booklet finisher, a paper misfeed might occur. Be sure to set the stapler cartridge.
Original orientation and staple position
Place all the originals in the ADF in the orientation in which they can be read normally. When placing the original on the exposure glass, keep the same orientation, but place the original facing downwards.
When the paper that is loaded is the same size and orientation as the original, the relationship between the orientation in which you place the original and the staple positions is as follows. However, if you cannot place the originals in the 
orientation, place the originals in the 
orientation and select unreadable orientation in [Original Orientation].
