Oncethe set of copies is stapled, it is delivered to the finisher output tray.The stapler holds 5000 staples.NoteYou cannot staple from the Multi-Purpose Tray (MPT).Notes about stapling: If output sheets are sent to the stapler unit but the sheet countexceeds 50, the sheets are sent to the finisher tray without beingstapled. Further sheets then bypass the stapler unit, going directlyinto the finisher tray. If output sheets are sent to the stapler unit and then the paper typechanges during the job to an unsupported type, stapling is turnedoff and any sheets in the stapler unit are sent to the finisheroutput tray. Unsupported paper types then bypass the staplerunit, going directly into the finisher tray. If stapling is on and you are printing multiple copies, check theCollate box, otherwise all the copies of each page are stapledinstead of each set of copies. When the stapler is empty, a message displays on the front panelbut printing continues with pages sent to the finisher tray withoutbeing stapled. If you select the top output tray and stapling, the output will bestapled and sent to the finisher output tray not the top output tray.
