The staple function can be used to staple output.
This function saves considerable time when preparing handouts for a meeting or other stapled materials. The staple 
function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing to create materials with a more sophisticated 
appearance.
Stapling positions and the number of staples can be selected to obtain the following stapling results.

The punch function can be selected to punch holes in printed output. Punch hole positions can be set by selecting the 
binding edge.

• 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 is 50 (30 sheets for A4-R, Letter-R, B4, Foolscap, and larger sizes). 

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 system settings (administrator), the staple function and punch function 

cannot be used.

• When the staple function or the punch function is disabled in the machine's system settings (administrator), stapling or 

punching is not possible.

• For information on the saddle stitch function, see "
