HP LaserJet M3027 Multifunction Printer series - Manual (Page 88)

Use the convenience stapler
A convenience stapler is mounted to the front, right side of the device.
The convenience stapler operates independently from the control panel and device software, and does
not automatically staple print jobs. The stapler requires no settings and generates no error messages
or status messages.
Staple media
Activate the convenience stapler by inserting media into the stapler.
1. Insert up to 20 sheets of media (80 g/m 2 or 20 lb) into the slot in the stapler door. Insert fewer
sheets to staple if the media weight is heavier than 80 g/m 2 or 20 lb.
CAUTION: Do not use the convenience stapler to staple plastic, cardboard, or wood. Damage
to the convenience stapler can result from attempting to staple these materials.
NOTE: Exceeding the recommended capacity could result in jams or damage to the stapler. For
information about resolving a stapler jam, see Clear stapler jams on page 175 .
2. Wait for the stapler to staple the sheets. When it is inserted all the way into the stapler slot, the
media should trigger the stapler mechanism.
3. Remove the stapled media from the slot.
NOTE: If you are unable to remove the media after stapling, carefully open the stapler door and
then slide your document out.
