Optional Equipment

CAUTION

Do not place your hand in the part of the tray where stapling is performed if a finisher is attached, as this may result in personal injury.

IMPORTANT

If the Staple mode is set, the output tray moves downward as the stack of paper that is output increases in quantity and thickness. Once the output tray has reached its stacking limit, printing and stapling stop temporarily. Remove all of the stapled prints from the output tray, and printing and stapling resume.

Only the following paper sizes can be stapled: 11" × 17", LGL, LTR, or LTRR.

You cannot staple envelopes, transparencies, or labels.

Do not pull copies or prints out of the output area while they are being stapled. Remove the copies or prints after they are output to the output tray.

NOTE

The maximum number of sheets, including cover sheets, that can be stapled together is as follows (only 17 to 20 lb bond (64 to 80 g/m2) paper can be used for the main document, and 17 to 32 lb bond (64 to 128 g/m2) paper can be used for the cover page):

-LTR

50 sheets (17 to 20 lb bond (64 to 80 g/m2))

-11" × 17", LGL, LTRR

30 sheets (17 to 20 lb bond (64 to 80 g/m2))

If the machine stops while stapling and the message <OUT OF STAPLES/REPLACE STAPLE CART.> appears, all of the staples have been used, and the staple cartridge must be replaced. (See "Replacing the Staple Cartridge," on p. 7-20.)
