General stapling guidelines

To ensure that stapling of thin sets is satisfactory, finishers made before the end of 1998 will cycle down and wait briefly after producing 30 sets of 15 sheets to give you an opportunity to proof the job. You are not required to empty the Stacker in order to resume printing.

For Finishers made after the end of 1998, a similar process takes place except that you are required to empty the Stacker in order to resume printing.

If these parameters are not satisfactory for your printing, please contact

Xerox.

Dimensions that can be stapled: The minimum size for stapling is 6.7 by 8 inches (170 x 203 mm). The fed edge must be between 8 to 12 inches (203 x 305 mm) to be stapled.

When the Top Tray of the Finisher is used: Short-edge feed (SEF) sheets less than 6.7 inches (170 mm) long in the feed direction or 8 inches (203 mm) long in the cross-feed direction will go to the Top Tray rather than to the Stacker.

During certain jam or error conditions, purged sheets (to be discarded) are also sent to the Top Tray.
