Staple position
The specified staple position varies depending on paper size, type, quantity and feed orientation. The
following table shows staple positions:
• Stapling might not be in the specified position if combine (layout) and duplex printing are both
selected. After setting the staple position, use the printer driver's preview icon to check the position
before printing.
• For paper sizes and maximum numbers of sheets available for stapling, see "Specifications", General
Settings Guide.
• For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.
Stapling precautions
• Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher installed.
Staple printing will be canceled under the following conditions:
• If the number of pages to staple exceeds maximum.
• If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected.
• If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.
• If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in duplex mode and the staple position.
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in letterhead mode and the staple position.
