IMPORTANT
• If Staple mode is set, the output trays move downward as the stack of paper that is output
increases in quantity and thickness. When 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
temporarily. Remove all of the stapled prints from the output tray, and printing and stapling
resume.
• You cannot output a stapled set of prints to the upper tray.
• You cannot staple transparencies or labels.
• Do not pull copies or prints out of the output area while they are being stapled. Remove the
copies or prints after they are output to one of the output trays.
NOTE
• Staple-N1 is standard on Finisher-AK1.
• Staple-N1 and Staple-P1 are standard on Saddle Finisher-AK2.
• If you want to staple more than 50 sheets (80 g/m² / 20 lb bond) of A3/Tabloid or A4R/LTRR
paper, or 100 sheets (80 g/m² / 20 lb bond) of A4/LTR paper, the prints are only offset but not
stapled. In addition, when you select coated or heavy paper, you may not be able to staple the
job, even if the number of sheets, including sheet insertions or job separators, is below the set
limit of a finisher.
• When the machine stops while stapling and a message on the control panel asks you to refill
the staplers, you must replace the staple cartridge.
