The staple function staples the output. To create materials with a more sophisticated appearance, the staple function can be used in combination with 2-sided printing.
This function saves considerable time when preparing handouts for a meeting or other stapled materials.
The punch function punches holes in the output. The punch hole positions are set by selecting the binding edge.
- A finisher or saddle finisher is required to use the staple function.
- To use the punch function, install a punch module in the finisher or saddle finisher.
- For the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled, see "SPECIFICATIONS" in the Quick Start Guide.
- The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled at once includes any covers and/or inserts that are inserted.
- For information on the saddle stitch function, see "CREATE A STAPLED PAMPHLET (Pamphlet copy/saddle stitch) ".
- The staple and offset (shifting the position of the paper that is output for each job) functions cannot be used simultaneously.
- When the finisher is disabled in the machine's settings, the staple function and punch function cannot be used.
- When the staple function or the punch function is disabled in the machine's settings, stapling or punching is not possible.
