If the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number of pages that can be stapled together, the machine staples the maximum number of pages together, and then staples the rest of the pages separately. For the number of sheets that can be stapled together, see "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.
Conditions where stapling will be canceled or a job reset may occur
Stapling will be canceled or a job reset may occur if:
No requirements for specifying collate are fulfilled.
The finisher that supports the staple function is not attached.
Positions other than those for stapling are specified.
The orientation in 2 sided printing mode and the staple position do not match.
The staple function cannot be used for the selected paper size or type.
The machine is printing a report.
The bypass tray is specified as the source tray.
The orientation in letterhead mode and the staple position do not match.
[Driver / Command] is selected in [Tray Setting Priority] for the specified source tray.
If the information icon (
) is displayed next to the "Staple:" list, you cannot specify staple function. Click the information icon () to check why staple function is unavailable.If staples have run out and [Auto Continue] is disabled, an error message will appear. Cancel the staple function in the error message to continue printing.
If Staple or Shift Collate is selected with a finisher installed, the paper will be delivered to the finisher shift tray irrespective of the setting.
If you cannot make staple settings even with a finisher installed, options may not be set correctly in the printer driver. To correct the printer driver's option settings, see "Configuring Option Settings for the Printer", Driver Installation Guide.
If letterhead is used for printing, stapling may not be possible at the specified position.
If 2 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 a 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.
