Stapling; As/400 And Iseries Stapling - Lexmark 6500e User Manual

5.2 Stapling

Stapling is available when an optional finisher is installed.
When stapling is specified in the IPDS job, the job bin selection will be ignored and the job will be routed
to a bin that supports stapling.
Jobs are stapled according to the following printer and finisher restrictions. It is the user's responsibility to
load a media type and size that can be stapled by the optional finisher. Refer to your printer
documentation for media types and sizes supported by the optional finisher and for any additional
restrictions that may apply.
•
Jobs that exceed the maximum staple packet size will not be stapled.
•
Stapling has a higher priority than all other finishing functions.
•
Stapling and hole punch may be performed on the same job.
•
Offset stacking receives the lowest priority of all finishing functions. Offset stacking may not be
performed when combined with other finishing operations.
Note: The Staple Job menu item under the printer's menu does not affect stapling of IPDS jobs.

using the 'CRTPRTF' command or changed using the 'CHGPRTF' command. Check to see that all PTFs
that affect stapling have been applied before calling for technical support.
