Remark
  • Please note that the memory of the machine can store up to 6,000 pages. When you send a secured document to be stored in the memory to be printed at a later time, and the memory is full (already reached its maximum capacity), your document will not be stored. The memory may be full because the machine is being used for other functions (such as storing a document in an inbox or storing a form) or other jobs, which use memory space.
  • [Rotate+Collate] and [Rotate+Group] are available if the paper size is LTR, LTRR, A4, A4R, B5, or B5R.
  • If [Rotate+Collate] or [Rotate+Group] is selected, part of the print image may be cut off when the image is rotated. You need to load the same size paper as the original in the paper drawers in both landscape and portrait positions. If you do not, all the sheets will be printed in the orientation that the loaded paper is in.
  • [Offset+Collate] and [Offset+Group] are available if the following paper size is selected.
  • When the Staple Finisher-A1/Booklet Finisher-A1 is attached:
    11" × 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, A3, A4, A4R, B4 or B5
  • When the Staple Finisher-B1/Booklet Finisher-B1 is attached:
    11" × 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, EXEC, A3, A4, A4R, A5, B4 or B5.
  • When you are stapling paper in landscape orientation, the image orientation and the staple position may not match.
  • When you select [Staple+Collate] or [Staple+Group], you can select the stapling position.


Remark
  • [Staple+Collate] and [Staple+Group] are available for selection if the paper size is 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, A3, JIS-B4, A4, A4R, or JIS-B5 when the Staple Finisher-A1/ Booklet Finisher-A1 is attached, or if the paper size is 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, A3, JIS-B4, A4, A4R, or JIS-B5 when the Staple Finisher-B1/Booklet Finisher-B1 is attached. Available staple locations depend on paper size and image orientation, as shown.

Remark
  • For the Staple Finisher-A1/Booklet Finisher-A1, the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled is 30 for 11" x 17", LGL, A4R, A3, and JIS-B4, 50 for LTR, LTRR, EXEC, A4, and JIS-B5. If the number of sheets is greater than the limit, they will not be stapled.
  • For the Staple Finisher-B1/Booklet Finisher-B1, the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled is 30 for 11" x 17", LGL, A3, and JIS-B4, 50 for LTR, LTRR, A4, A4R, and JIS-B5. If the number of sheets is greater than the limit, they will not be stapled.
  • Make sure to select compatible settings when using Staple and Punch simultaneously. If conflicting settings are selected, such as the staple setting for the right side of the paper and the punch setting for the left, the printer will use neither Staple nor Punch.
