Selecting Finishing Options for Windows
If your printer has a finisher installed, you can select finishing options in the Properties window of the
print driver. Finishing options allow you to select how your document is delivered. For example, you
can select hole-punching, stapling, folding, or printing in a booklet format.
Note: Not all options listed are supported on all printers. Some options apply only to a specific
printer model, configuration, operating system, or print driver type.
To select finishing options in the PostScript and PCL print drivers:
1. In the print driver, click the Printing Options tab.
2. To select a finishing option, for Finishing, click the arrow.
Note: The print driver displays stapling positions for paper fed on the long edge. If paper
feeds on the short edge instead of the long edge, the finisher can insert the staple in the
wrong location.
