Cause:

When the sheets are fed to the staple unit inside the finisher, they may be overlaid, resulting in a misalignment of 5 mm (0.2 inches) relative to each other after stapling.

When coated or other paper producing higher paper-to-paper friction is used, the paper edges are not aligned properly, resulting in misaligned stapling.

This is likely to occur if:

  • Coated or other paper producing higher paper-to-paper friction is used.
  • Thin or other limp paper is used.

Solution:

Reduce the number of sheets to be stapled.

  1. In the Finishing: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Finisher > Number of Sheets Align for Stapling > Reduce the number of sheets to be stapled. (SP 6-225-001 to 014: Adj Pre Stack Number (size) SEF)
  2. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?

    Yes

    Finished!

    No

    If the problem persists even though the setting has reached its minimum value, consult the product specialist.

  • If the number of sheets to be stapled is reduced, paper alignment will take longer, compromising the machine's throughput.
