Mainframe Stapling; Lexmark T650, T652, T654, T656Dne And X658De Optional Finisher - Lexmark T656 User Manual

5.2.2 Mainframe Stapling

Stapling is controlled in MVS by the PSF Form Definition parameters used within the job being sent to
the printer from the host system. The form definition for stapling can be defined either in the host PSF
printer member or on the sysout statement of the job being sent.
5.2.2.1

Lexmark T650, T652, T654, T656dne and X658de Optional Finisher

The optional finisher supports only one staple position. You can not physically change the position of the
staple. The printer automatically rotates text before stapling when the finisher is installed.
If necessary, reformat your job on the host with a different text orientation to avoid stapled sets that are
hard to read. Refer to your printer or finisher documentation to determine the staple location for various
paper sizes.
The form definition to use in the PSF printer member or in the job output statement for simplex printing
is: F1FC0010. This applies to PSF OS/390 and PSF for zOS (v. 3.4, 4.1 and 4.2). (See PSF OS/390 Users
Guide for other Form Definitions Supplied with PSF, for Staple with Duplex, Tumble etc.)
The following is an example of a job output statement that includes the Form Definition to use IPDS
staple function for a simplex job:
//OUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=C,COPIES=1,FORMDEF=FC0010
