Staple sort function / Saddle stitch function
The staple sort function sorts output into sets, staples each set, and delivers the sets to the tray.
The saddle stitch function staples each set in 2 places at the centerline and folds the stapled set.
The relations between the stapling positions, paper orientation, permitted paper sizes for stapling, and number of sheets
that can be stapled are shown below.
For original placement orientations, see "
Original placement orientation (for the staple sort and punch functions) " (page
2-38).
* Two sheets (one sheet when pamphlet stapling is performed) of paper up to 68 lbs. (256 g/m 2 ) can be stapled as covers. When this
is done, the number of sheets that can be used is two less (one less for saddle stitch) than the stated maximum.
