■Staple sort mode

Output pages are sorted into sets by the sort function, and each set is stapled and delivered to the tray. The centre of the paper can also be stapled and delivered to the lower saddle tray (only when using the saddle stitch finisher). The relations between possible stapling positions, the paper feed direction, paper sizes that can be used, and number of pages that can be stapled are shown below.

Two sheets (one sheet when using the saddle stitch function) of 256 g/m2 (68 lbs.) paper can be included as covers in the page stapling limit in the table below.
