Chapter 2 Printing Tasks | 100 |
Stapling Documents
The stapler can staple documents of 2 to a maximum of 20 pages on 16 to 28 lb paper, Letter, Legal, and A4 size only. For paper beyond 20 lb, fewer sheets can be stapled depending upon the weight of the paper. The stapler should not be set as the default output bin. If your job is only one page, or if it is greater than 20 pages, the printer will print your job to the bin, but it will not be stapled. The stapler bin can hold up to 350 stapled sheets. To have your job stapled, send it to OPTIONAL BIN x. See pages 95 and 96 to choose the appropriate bin according to the mode you are using.
Selecting the Stapler through the Software
You can select the stapler through your software application or printer driver. This is the recommended method for stapling. If you are unable to designate the paper destination in your software or printer driver, follow the instructions below for setting the overall default printer output bin selection. Where and how you make selections depends on your software application or associated printer driver. (Some options may only be available through the printer driver. See page 55 for more information on accessing the printer driver.)
