Booklet: Adjusting the Staple Center Position
You can adjust the staple center and paper fold positions.
As an example, how to adjust the staple position when it is misaligned upward (backward) by 1.5 mm from the center of the papers is explained below.
• Meaning and Purpose of Staple Center Position Adjustment
When the staple position of saddle stitch stapling is misaligned from the paper half-fold position (center of paper), this function allows you to move the staple position forward or backward by specifying the desired value.
Negative values move the staple position forward (downward).
Positive values move the staple position backward (upward).
• When to perform
When the staple position of saddle stitch and the paper half-fold position (center of paper) are misaligned
