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.
Figure 3-3. Size requirements for stapling
Weights that can be stapled: The Finisher can staple a maximum of 50
sheets of 20 lb paper. The maximum staple capability for other stock weights
is shown in Table 3-1.
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.
