You can specify how the machine responds if its memory becomes full during copying, or if the number of copies exceeds the capacity of the stapler:
Divides the copies into the number of sheets that can be stapled
Cancels the stapling job

Even if you place different size originals in the ADF, appropriate size of copy paper can be automatically selected and stapled using the Mixed Sizes mode and Auto Paper Select function. Load the paper you want to use in the paper trays beforehand. Paper sizes that can be stapled when using the Mixed Sizes mode are as follows:
A3 and A4
B4 JIS and B5 JIS
11 × 17 and 81/2 × 11
When stapling B4 JIS, 81/2 × 14 or larger paper sizes, be sure to extend the paper support plate the tray of Finisher SR4030, SR4050 or Booklet Finisher SR4040.
When the number of copies exceeds tray capacity, copying stops. If this happens, remove the copies from the shift tray, and then resume copying.
You cannot change stapling positions during copying.
When the original image is rotated, the staple orientation changes by 90 degrees.
The maximum original image size that can be rotated is as follows: Metric version: A4, Inch version: 81/2 × 11
When using Slant, Left 2, or Top 2 with the Combine, Double Copies or Auto Reduce / Enlarge function, “Orig. and paper orientation mismatched for Staple mode. Cancel Staple mode or change paper orientation in tray.” message may appear depending on the orientation of originals and paper you placed. In this case, change the paper orientation.
When Top or Bottom is selected and the paper with the same orientation as the original is not loaded, the image is rotated and the paper with the same size and the different orientation is selected.
When Left 2, or Top 2 is selected, the following settings are useful to rotate images appropriately:
