COPIER Staple sort function / Saddle stitch function The staple sort function sorts output into sets, staples each set, and delivers the sets to the tray. The saddle stitch function staples each set in 2 places at the centerline and folds the stapled set. The relations between the stapling positions, paper orientation, permitted paper sizes for stapling, and number of sheets that can be stapled are shown below. For original placement orientations, see "Original placement orientation (for the staple sort and punch functions)" (page 2-37).
