Use the stapler
The automatic stapler is only available with the optional HP 3-bin Stapler/Stacker (CC517A) or HP
booklet Maker/Finisher Accessory (CC516A).
Print jobs can be stapled with a diagonal staple in either top corner, with two horizontal staples at the
top of the page, or with two vertical staples at either side of the page.
● Paper weight can range from 60 to 220 g/m 2 (16 to 148 lbs.). Heavier paper might have a stapling
limit of fewer than 50 sheets.
● The optional stapler/stacker can staple jobs of up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) paper. It can stack
up to 1,000 sheets of paper, or 30 stapled jobs, whichever is less.
● The optional booklet maker can also staple jobs of up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) paper. It can
staple and fold up to 15 pages into a booklet. It can stack up to 1,000 sheets of paper, (or 30 stapled
jobs) or up to 25 saddle-stitched booklets.
● If the job consists of only one sheet, or if it consists of more than 50 sheets, the product delivers
the job to the bin, but does not staple the job.
● The stapler supports paper only. Do not try to staple other types of print media, such as envelopes,
transparencies, or labels.
NOTE: For information on loading letterhead, pre-printed, and pre-punched paper, see Load
letterhead, pre-printed, or pre-punched paper on page 106 .
When you want the product to staple or fold a document, select the correct option in the software. You
can usually select the stapler in your program or printer driver, although some options might be available
only in the printer driver. Where and how you make selections depends on your program or printer driver.
If you cannot select the stapler or booklet maker finisher in the program or printer driver, select it at the
product control panel.
The stapler accepts print jobs if it is out of staples, but it does not staple the pages. The product can be
configured to stop printing if the staple cartridge is empty.
