Stapling documents
The optional stapler/stacker can staple jobs of up to 15 sheets of 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) paper. The
stapler can staple letter-size, A4-size, or legal-size paper.
● Paper weight can range from 60 to 120 g/m 2 (16 to 32 lb). Heavier paper might have a
stapling limit of fewer than 15 sheets.
● If the job consists of only one sheet, or if it consists of more than 15 sheets, the printer
will print the job to the bin, but the printer will not staple the job.
● The stapler supports paper only. Do not try to staple other types of print media, such as
transparencies or labels.
When you are ready to have the printer staple a document, select stapling 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 in the program or printer driver, select the stapler at the
printer control panel.
You might need to configure the printer driver to recognize the optional stapler/stacker. You
need to set this setting only once. See the printer driver online Help for details.
The stapler accepts print jobs if it is out of staples, but it does not staple the pages. The
printer driver can be configured to disable the staple option if the staple cartridge is empty.
