STPC — set STaPle Counter
Format
STPC [staple-count or letter M (or m)];
Parameter
staple-count:
number of sheets to be stapled at a time (When this parameter is omitted, ‘0’ is
assumed):
2 to 50
1
= divides output pages into stacks of pages of this value and staples each of
them. The odd stack is also stapled.
M = divides output pages into stacks of pages equal to the maximum allowable number
of sheets of stapling and staples each of them. The odd stack is also stapled.
0 = same as M above but does not divide nor staple a job at all if the total number of
pages of the job is more than the maximum allowable number of sheets of stapling. The
odd stack is neither stapled.
–1 = same as 0 above but the odd stack is stapled.
Function
The STPC command specifies the number of sheets that the stapler (finisher) staples a
job. This command does not execute stapling therefore should be used with the STPL
(staple) command.
For more simplified explanation on the staple-count, here is an example.
To print a 50-page job using a DF-31 finisher (20 pages stapler):
File
To staple every 5 sheets of a job at the center 2 staples, printing 15 copies of the job:
!R! STPL 3; STPC 5;
JOBS 2, 15, 1, 0, 1, "Interim Report 1", "Steve", "09/22/02
19:24";
TEXT "This is Interim Report 1 ..."; PAGE;
UNIT C; BOX 5,10; PAGE;
JOBT; EXIT;
1
This value depends on the stapler to be used.
