Precautions When Using Finishing Functions

Precautions When Using Collate and Group
If the load limit is reached during tray lowering, paper is ejected automatically to an available tray. If all available trays have reached their load limit, printing is paused. When the ejected paper is removed from the tray, printing resumes.
Precautions When Using Staple
The number of sheets that can be stapled varies depending on the paper type and thickness. Specifications
If the machine cannot staple the paper, change the paper or reduce the number of sheets to be stapled.
Remove stapled paper after it has been completely output to the tray and do not remove it while it is being stapled.
When [Load staples into the stapler unit.] appears, replace the staple case and add more staples. Adding Staples (Option)
If the tray reaches its lower limit position, printing is paused. When the ejected paper is removed from the tray, printing resumes.
Precautions When Using Saddle Stitch
The folding condition varies depending on the paper type and number of sheets.
