The maximum number of bindable sheets may not be possible, depending on the paper type. In this case, change the paper type, or reduce the number of sheets to bind. Collate and groupIf you select <Offset> in combination with the collate or group function, each printout group is shifted. 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 to resume printing. StaplersWhen 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. If the <Load staples into the stapler unit.> message appears, almost all of the staples have been used. To proceed, replace the staple cartridge. If a tray reaches the lowest position limit, printing stops temporarily. Remove all of the output paper from the tray to resume printing. |
