Illustration of Staple

Important

  • 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 Portrait orientation, place the originals in the Landscape orientation and select unreadable orientation in [Original Orientation].

  • The following type of paper cannot be stapled:

  • When stapling B4 JISLandscape, 81/2 × 14Landscape or larger paper sizes, be sure to extend the paper support plate of the finisher tray.

  • Even if you place different size originals in the ADF, appropriate size of copy paper can be automatically selected and stapled using the Mixed Sizes mode and Auto Paper Select function. Load the paper you want to use in the paper trays beforehand.

  • If the number of the sheets to be stapled as one set exceeds the capacity of the stapler, copies that are not stapled will be delivered to the tray.

  • To specify Left 2, Top 2, or Slant together with [2 Originals] or [8 Originals] of [Combine 1 Side], or [4 Originals] or [16 Originals] of [Combine 2 Sides]: specify Portrait paper for Landscape orientation originals and specify Landscape paper for Portrait orientation originals.

  • To specify Left 2, Top 2, or Slant together with Double Copies: specify Portrait paper for Landscape orientation originals and specify Landscape paper for Portrait orientation originals.

  • When Left 2 or Top 2 is selected, the following settings are useful to rotate images appropriately:

    • Auto Reduce / Enlarge or Auto Paper Select

    • Replace [Auto Tray Switching] with [With Image Rotation] in User Tools.

  • When Top 1 or Bottom 1 is selected and the paper with the same orientation as the original is not loaded, the image is rotated and the paper with the same size and the different orientation is selected. The maximum original image size that can be rotated is A4 or 81/2 × 11.
