Put 2 staples on the bottom side of a portrait page or

 

 

the left side of a landscape page printed on short-edge-

booklet printing. This command has no effect when the

The value for the stapling position depends on the paper size, the paper feed direction, and the print direction. This function is not available for all paper sizes and the users should refer to the Quick Start Guide for a list of compatible paper sizes. In particular, A5, A6 and statement paper sizes will not work with this function.
