Do not place your fingers or hands on the finisher when the finisher is in use. Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the finisher.
When removing paper from the tray of the finisher, do not place your hands on the output tray of the finisher. The tray may move upward and your hands may get caught.
 Do not place your hand in the part of the tray where stapling is performed (near the rollers) if a finisher is attached, as this may result in personal injury.

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 temporarily. 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 the output tray has reached its stacking limit, printing and stapling stop temporarily. 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 maximum numbers of sheets that can be stapled are as follows:
A4: 50 sheets of paper (52 to 81.4 g/m2), 30 sheets of paper (81.5 to 105 g/m2), 2 sheets of paper (106 to 256 g/m2)
A3 and A4R: 30 sheets of paper (52 to 81.4 g/m2), 20 sheets of paper (81.5 to 105 g/m2), 2 sheets of paper (106 to 256 g/m2)
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-U1 is attached.
The maximum numbers of sheets, including cover sheets, that can be saddle stitched are described below.
16 sheets of paper (60 to 81.4 g/m2)
10 sheets of paper (81.5 to 105 g/m2)
5 sheets of paper (106 to 120 g/m2)
The accuracy of folds created in the Saddle Stitch mode may vary depending on the paper type and the number of sheets
Make sure to adjust the Booklet Tray guide to match the size of the output paper before outputting saddle stitched prints, as shown below.
The Saddle Fold mode is available only if the Booklet Finisher-U1 is attached.
The paper is saddle folded one sheet at a time, and then output.
