● Folds single pages ● Saddle-stitches and folds up to 40 booklets of 5 sheets stacked, or 20 booklets of 10 sheets stacked Stapling information The finisher can staple 2 to 50 pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) A-4 or letter-size paper or up to 25 pages of A3 11 x 17 paper or equivalent to 5.5 mm (0.22 in). The pages must be 64 to 199 g/m2 (17 to 53 lb) of all sizes supported by the device. Consider these additional points: ● The upper bin (stacker bin) can hold up to 1,000 sheets stacked (not stapled). The multifunction finisher can deliver jobs face up or face down to the upper bin. ● Heavier media might have a stapling limit of fewer than 50 pages. ● If the job is only one sheet, or, if it is more than 50 sheets, it is printed and not stapled. You can usually select the stapler in the software program or print driver, although some options might be available only in the print driver. See the product user guide for more information. If the stapler cannot be selected in the program or print driver, it can be selected through the product control panel. See the product user guide for instructions. Booklets You can gain access to the booklet feature in some software programs, such as desktop publishing programs. See the user guide that came with your program for information about making booklets. If you are using a program that does not support booklet making, you can create booklets by using the HP print driver. NOTE: HP recommends that you use your program to prepare and preview your document for printing, and then use the HP print driver to print and saddle stitch your booklet. Use the following steps to create a booklet by using the print driver: ● Prepare your booklet: Arrange the pages on a sheet (called booklet imposition) to create a booklet. You can impose your booklet in your software program, or you can use the booklet-printing feature in print driver. ● Add a cover: Add a cover for the first page by selecting a different paper type that is the same size as the rest of the booklet. The cover can be a weight different from the rest of the booklet. ● Use saddle stitching: Paper must be fed into the product short edge first. The product prompts you for rotated paper. The multifunction finisher staples the center of your booklet (called saddle stitching). If your booklet contains only one sheet of paper, the multifunction finisher folds the sheet but does not staple it. If the booklet contains more than one sheet of paper, the multifunction finisher staples the sheets and then folds up to 10 sheets per booklet. The booklet-printing feature of the multifunction finisher supports the saddle stitch and fold feature for the following paper sizes: ● A3 ● A4-Rotated (A4-R)* ● Letter-Rotated (Letter-R)* ENWW Output devices 9
