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 stapli
ng 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
pa
ges 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.
STPC parameter Stapling operation

15 15 sheets, 15 sheets, 15 sheets, and 5 sheets are stapled.
