Use the Staple parameter of the setpagedevice operator to enable stapling (standard PS3 behaviour). The older /staple key is not supported. Valid values are:
0: do not staple.
1: staple at device deactivation (Not supported).
2: staple per sub set.
3: staple per sub set.
NOTE
/Staple=2 triggers stapling of the subset from the next page and on. For stapling at job level, you must use the ticket instead.
Staple options can be provided in the StapleDetails dictionary. This dictionary must contain the entries /Type and /StapleLocation; and optionally a /ReadingOrientation entry. Several Types are supported and depending of the type the meaning of the /StapleLoction is different:
|
/Type |
Description |
|---|---|
|
1 |
/StapleLocation is a string /ReadingOrientation is not used |
|
16 |
/StapleLocation is a number |
|
22 |
/StapleLocation is a string /ReadingOrientation is a string and used if available |
OutputType must be set to Auto, or to any tray which supports stapling. Staple options can be provided in the StapleDetails dictionary.
The varioPRINT 140 Series supports Type = 16 and Type = 22:
|
/Type |
/StapleLocation |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
16 |
0 |
No staples (legacy) |
|
1 |
1 portrait staple (legacy) |
|
|
2 |
1 landscape staple (legacy) |
|
|
3 |
2 portrait staples (legacy) |
|
|
22 |
(TopLeft) or (LeftTop) |
Relative to the ReadingOrientation given in StapleDetails |
|
(TopRight) or (RightTop) |
||
|
(BottomLeft) or (LeftBottom) |
||
|
(BottomRight) or (RightBottom) |
||
|
(LeftDual) |
||
|
(RightDual) |
||
|
(TopDual) |
||
|
(BottomDual) |
The supported values for /ReadingOrientation:
|
/ReadingOrientation |
Description |
|---|---|
|
(portrait) |
StapleLocation is defined relative to a portrait page |
|
(landscape) |
StapleLocation is defined relative to a landscape page |
The stapling is handled as follow:
ReadingOrientation can be the strings (portrait) or (landscape).
When using any of the string values, ReadingOrientation must also be provided. If ReadingOrientation is omitted, the orientation defined by PageSize is used. The PageSize-defined orientation might not produce the desired result.
Note: There are several ways of expressing the same physical staple location. For example (portrait) and (TopLeft) is equivalent to (landscape) and (TopRight) in terms of physical stapling, feed edge and applied rotation.
The staples are always placed on the trailing edge of the paper, therefore the sheets are oriented accordingly.
For example:
- portrait/TopDual requires short edge feed paper
- portrait/RightDual requires long edge feed paper, but rotated 180 degrees.
Single stapling is possible for all locations in long edge feed without loss of productivity.
The angle of the corner staples is not controlled by the PRISMAsync Print Server. All corner staples are placed at the same angle.
