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 45). 4 5 Saddle stitch Stapling positions 1 staple at top left corner 1 staple at bottom left corner 2 staples at left edge Saddle stitch (only with saddle stitch finisher) Vertically-oriented paper Applicable paper sizes 8-1/2" x 11", A4, B5, 16K Number of sheets that can be stapled: • Saddle stitch finisher Max. 30 sheets* • Finisher Max. 50 sheets* Saddle stitch cannot be used when the paper is oriented vertically Horizontally-oriented paper • Saddle stitch finisher Applicable paper sizes 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", 8-1/2" x 11"R, A3, B4, A4R, B5R, 8K, 16KR Number of sheets that can be stapled 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3, B4, 8K: Max. 25 sheets* 8-1/2" x 11"R, A4R, B5R, 16KR: Max. 30 sheets* • Finisher Applicable paper sizes 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", 8-1/2" x 11"R, A3, B4, A4R, 8K, 16KR Number of sheets that can be stapled 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3, B4, 8K: Max. 30 sheets* 8-1/2" x 11"R, A4R, 16KR: Max. 50 sheets* Applicable paper sizes 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 11"R, A3, B4, A4R Number of sheets that can be stapled: Max. 10 sheets* * Two 56 lbs.
