Using the optional stacker/stapler

The optional 3,000-sheet stacker/stapler can staple documents consisting of a minimum of two pages, and a maximum of 50 pages (75 g/m2, 20 lb bond paper) or equivalent to 6 mm

(0.2 inches). The pages must be 64 to 199 g/m2 (17 to 53 lb) for all sizes that the engine supports

●The stacker can hold up to 3,000 sheets.

●Heavier media might have a stapling limit of less than 50 pages.

●If the job you want stapled consists of only one sheet, or if it consists of more than 50 sheets, the printer will print the job. However it will not be stapled.
