Do not place anything under the trays of the finisher, as doing so may damage the trays.
 If you create a saddle stitched booklet using coated paper or inserted sheets for the cover, the image printed on the page after the cover may stick to the back of the cover, or back of the inserted sheets, depending on the type of coated paper you are using.
If you create a saddle stitched booklet or Staple (Corner/Double) mode using coated paper or inserted sheets for the cover, the copy sets may dirty the surface (toner streaks) of the cover depending the type of coated paper you are using.
If you create a saddle stitched booklet using coated paper for the cover, cracks may appear around the fold of the cover, depending on the type of coated paper you are using.
If you use the Staple (Corner/Double) mode to staple multiple copy sets using coated paper for the cover, the staples of copy sets may dirty the surface of the cover of copy sets that have already been output, depending on the type of coated paper you are using.

For instructions on maintenance for the finisher, such as replacing staples, see "Maintenance." For information on clearing paper or staple jams, see "Problem Solving."
If the Collate or Group mode is set, the output trays move downward as the stack of paper that is output increases in quantity and thickness. Once an output tray has reached its stacking limit, subsequent prints are automatically delivered to the next available tray. If all of the available trays have reached their stacking limits, printing stops. Remove all of the output paper from the trays. The trays move upward, and printing resumes.
If you press [Offset] when either the Collate or Group mode is set, each set of prints is shifted approximately 30 mm alternately to the front and back of the tray before it is delivered to the output tray.
If the Staple mode is set, the output tray moves downward as the stack of paper that is output increases in quantity and thickness. Once an output tray has reached its stacking limit, or after 100 sets of prints or the predefined height has been output, printing and stapling stop. When all of the stapled prints from the output tray are removed, printing and stapling resume.
When you are using the Staple mode, do not remove the stack of paper from the output tray during the job. Remove the stack of paper when the job has been completed.
The Staple-N1 is standardly equipped on the Staple Finisher-K1.
The Staple-N1 and Staple-P1 are standardly equipped on the Booklet Finisher-K1.
If you want to use the Staple mode with more than 50 sheets (80 g/m2) of A3, A4R paper, or 100 sheets (80 g/m2) of A4 paper, the copies/prints are only offset but not stapled. In addition, when selecting coated or heavy paper, you may not be able to use the Staple mode even if the number of sheets, including sheet insertions or job separators, is below the set limit of a finisher.
If the machine stops while stapling and the message <Load staples into the stapler unit.> appears, almost all of the staples have been used, and the staple case must be replaced. To proceed, replace the staple case. (See "Maintenance.")
The Saddle Stitch mode is available only if the Booklet Finisher-K1 is attached.
The maximum number of sheets that can be saddle stitched differs, depending on the paper weight and type (including one cover sheet (maximum 300 g/m2)).
The accuracy of folds created in the Saddle Stitch mode may vary depending on the paper type and the number of sheets.
For information on the maximum number of sheets that can be Z-folded and stapled when the Paper Folding Unit-G1 is attached, see "Staple Mode with the Z-fold Mode."
The Hole Punch mode is available only if the Puncher Unit-BG1/Puncher Unit-BH1 is attached.
The Saddle Fold mode is available only if the Booklet Finisher-K1 is attached.
The paper is saddle folded with a maximum of 5 sheets (80 g/m2), and then output.
The Trim mode is available only if the Inner Booklet Trimmer-A1 is attached to the Booklet Finisher-K1.
You can trim a maximum of 20 sheets of paper (80 g/m2) (including one cover sheet (300 g/m2)).
