Upon receiving the stapling command from the printer with one sheet remaining on the compiler unit assembly,
the finisher ejects the media to the stacker media bin without stapling it.

Stapling multiple size media

When sheets with different sizes and same width (example: A4L and A3S) are present on the compiler unit
assembly, all the sheets are stapled and then ejected to the stacker media bin.
