Instructions for Using This Finisher
By installing this product on your printer, you will be able to collate and staple
output.
This manual describes instructions for using the Finisher. Please read it carefully
before using this machine.
❖ If the printer and the computer are not configured for bidirectional transmission, be
sure to configure the appropriate option with the printer driver.
Reference
For more information about bidirectional transmissions and installing op-
tions, see the Administrator Reference or the Client Reference on the CD-
ROM that comes with the printer.
❖ When performing duplex printing, paper-saving (layout) printing, or stapling, speci-
fy the paper size and feed direction with the printer driver.
Reference
For information about the available staple positions and the feeding direc-
tion, see the Client Reference on the CD-ROM that comes with the printer.
Note
❒Depending on which application you are using, the settings you make
when printing may become invalid resulting in printouts that are different
from the settings you have made.
❖ When you set collate printing or stapling with the printer driver, make sure that the
collate printing setting is off in the application.
If you set collate printing in the application, printouts may be different from
the settings you have made.

❖ Do not pull the paper out until it has been stapled. If you do, the paper may misfeed.
If a paper misfeed occurs, check the error message on the printer's display
panel, and then remove the paper.
Reference
For information about dealing with paper misfeeds, see Maintenance
Guide 2 that comes with the printer.
Note
❒The reprinting operation after dealing with an error depends on the paper
misfeed location.
• When "Remove Misfeed R: Finisher " appears, printing restarts from the
first page of the document being printed or the page of the document
being printed when the misfeed occurred.
• When "Remove Misfeed A:Internal Path" appears, printing restarts
from the page of the document being printed when the misfeed oc-
curred.
❒Even if the paper misfeed occurred in the Internal Path, the error message
may not disappear unless the covers of the Finisher are opened and then
closed.
❖ Staple printing is cancelled in the following cases:
• You set more sheets than can be stapled
The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled is 30.
• You select a paper size that cannot be stapled
The paper sizes that can be stapled are A3 (11.69×16.54) L , B4
(10.12×14.33) L , A4/letter K , A4/letter L , B5 (10.12×7.17) K , 11×17 L , Le-
gal L , Executive K , Foolscap L , 8K L , and 16K K .
• You select a paper type that cannot be stapled
The paper types that can be stapled are "Plain Paper" and "Recycled Pa-
per". ("Labels", "Thick Paper", and "Transparency" paper types cannot be
stapled.)
• You set staple positions other than the specified staple positions
• The binding positions and the staple positions are inconsistent when per-
forming duplex printing
• A different paper size is set in the middle of a job so that a mixture of paper
sizes is output
• Output is not directed to the Finisher Tray
• The staples have run out
Note

panel display.
