Usage Guidelines

• edge-stitch-2, edge-stitch-3, and edge-stitch all staple one edge of the job. The difference is the number of staples: 2, 3, or the finisher default.
• This attribute is not valid for ASCII documents.
• The placement of staples in relation to the data depends on the image orientation and the way the paper is loaded in the printer. Letter and A4 paper are normally loaded long edge first, but are loaded short edge first when rotated. Long media sheets, like legal paper, are always loaded short edge first.
• While the PSF DSS supports the job-finishing values listed, the way these values are implemented by the different printers can vary. Therefore, you might need to experiment. For specific details on finishing options with printers, see your printer documentation.
• For PSF DSS, saddle-stitch is valid only for these medium sizes, all loaded short edge first:
  • A3
  • A4 (rotated)
  • ledger
  • legal
  • letter (rotated)
• For PSF DSS, when you specify a value for job-finishing, InfoPrint creates an inline form definition. Do not use the document attribute form-definition to specify another form definition.
• For CUPS, InfoPrint Manager maps the value to the corresponding driver option set in the printer model configuration file. For more information, see "Mapping Attributes and Values to PPD Options" in the RICOH InfoPrint Manager for Linux: Getting Started guide.
• InfoPrint validates and schedules jobs using this attribute against the job-finishings-supported actual destination attribute.
• InfoPrint validates and schedules jobs using this attribute against the job-finishings-supported actual destination attribute.
• The job-finishing attribute is not applicable to UP³I devices. For information about UP³I devices, see the InfoPrint Page Printer Formatting Aid: User's Guide.
