Staple
Each copy set can be stapled together.
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]. You can confirm the staple positions that can be selected on the screen that appears when [Finishing] is pressed.

Slant | |||
Bottom 1 | |||
Left 2 | |||

Press [Finishing].

You cannot change staple positions during copying.
When stapling B4 JIS, 81/2 × 14 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 you want to cancel the staple settings automatically when the number of copies exceeds the capacity of the stapler, contact your sales or service representative.
If the number of the sheets to be stapled as one set exceeds the capacity of Finisher, 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 paper for orientation originals and specify paper for orientation originals.
To specify Left 2, Top 2, or Slant together with Double Copies: specify paper for orientation originals and specify paper for 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 Setting.
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.
Depending on the settings for the Staple, you may not be able to use the Rotate Copy function.
When the original image is rotated, the staple orientation changes by 90 degrees.
If you select Staple: Center, you must specify the Magazine function. The machine staples the paper, and folds it like a book, then delivers the paper folded. For details about the Magazine function, see Booklet/Magazine.
When the number of copies exceeds tray capacity, copying stops. If this happens, remove the copies from the finisher tray to resume copying.
