STAPLING OUTPUT/PUNCHING HOLES IN OUTPUT

The staple function staples the output. To create materials with more sophisticated appearance, the staple function can be used in combination with 2-sided printing.
This function saves considerable time when preparing handouts for a meeting or other stapled materials.
The stapling positions and the number of staples can be selected to obtain the following stapling results.

1 Staple*
Left	Right	Top
2 Staples
Left	Right	Top
Stapleless
Left	Right	Top

* The staple orientation (" " or " ") varies depending on the size and orientation of the paper.

The punch function punches holes in the output. The punch hole positions are set by selecting the binding edge.
