NOTES
To use the staple function, a finisher or saddle stitch finisher is required.
To use the punch function, a punch module must be installed on the finisher or saddle stitch finisher.
The number of holes that can be punched and the spacing between the holes varies depending on the installed punch module.
The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled when a saddle stitch finisher is installed is 50 (25 when a finisher is
installed) for A4, letter, and B5 sizes. The maximum number of sheets is 25 for other sizes. To staple horizontally fed paper, a
saddle stitch finisher is required. In this case, the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled is 50 for A4R and letter R
sizes, or 25 for all other sizes. For pamphlet stapling, the maximum number of sheets is 10. The maximum number of sheets that
can be stapled at once includes any covers and/or inserts that are inserted.
The staple function cannot be used in combination with the offset function, which offsets the position of each output job from the
previous job.
When the finisher is disabled in the machine's administrator settings, the staple function and punch function cannot be used.
When the staple function or the punch function is disabled in the machine's administrator settings, stapling or punching is not
possible.
