STAPLING OUTPUT/PUNCHING HOLES IN OUTPUT
Staple function
The staple function can be used to staple output.
This function saves considerable time when preparing handouts for a meeting or other stapled materials. The staple
function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing to create materials with a more sophisticated appearance.
Stapling positions and the number of staples can be selected to obtain the following stapling results.
*1 The staple orientation (" " or " ") varies depending on the size and orientation of the paper.
*2 Slanted stapling may not be possible for some paper sizes and orientations.
Punch function
The punch function can be selected to punch holes in printed output. Punch hole positions can be set by selecting the
binding edge.
An example of two-hole punching is shown below.

punch module of the finisher (for the MX-M850) and of the saddle stitch finisher is installed.
• For the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled, see "SPECIFICATIONS" in the Safety Guide.
The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled at once includes any covers and/or inserts that are inserted.

from the previous job.

cannot be used.
• When the staple function or the punch function is disabled in the machine's system settings (administrator), stapling or
