Stapling Printed Pages

For details about the paper size and number of sheets that can be stapled, see the following sections:
The optional finisher is required to use this function.
The machine cannot staple the printed sheets fed from the bypass tray.
When the Finisher is attached to the machine, the printed sheets are output to Finisher Shift Tray regardless of the setting of the output tray.
Staple Position and Result
Paper orientation | Result |
|---|---|
Portrait |  |
Landscape |  |
The staple position you can specify varies depending on the finisher.
You cannot specify a staple position supported by the finisher from the printer driver depending on the combination of the paper orientation loaded in the machine and document orientation (portrait or landscape). In this case, change the paper orientation (portrait or landscape) of the paper tray, and then specify the staple position.
When you specify 2-sided print, match the binding side of 2-sided print to the staple position.
When you specify Punch together with Staple, match the punching side to the staple position.
You cannot specify some of the functions, such as Fold or Slip Sheet, together with Staple. The specified staple may be automatically canceled depending on the function. Specify the staple setting again after checking the staple position displayed on the preview icon.
When printing on letterhead paper that has top and bottom, Staple is canceled if the print orientation and the staple position do not match.
When the staples are finished while the error skip is enabled, the message appears. Cancel Staple to continue printing without stapling.
When the following item is set to [Stapleless Only Available], the printed sheets are finished with Top Left or Top Right of Stapleless regardless of the setting in the printer driver.
