Staple Finisher

An optional attachment that automatically staples printed documents in various positions (corner, edge, or dual) without manual intervention.

Detailed Explanation

Staple finishers automate document finishing, automatically stapling completed print jobs based on pre-programmed settings. This eliminates manual stapling, saving significant time for high-volume document production. Types of staple finishers: corner staplers (single staple in corner), edge staplers (staples along edge), dual staplers (two staples), saddle-stitch staplers (center stapling for booklets). Capacity ranges from 2-50 sheets per staple set, with 10-30 sheets most common. Advanced finishers include: multiple staple positions, job separation/offsetting, hole punching, tri-folding. Staple finishers benefit: law firms (briefs and contracts), medical offices (patient records), education (course materials), marketing (presentations and proposals). When evaluating staple finishers: maximum sheets per staple, staple positions available, staple cartridge capacity, jam-resistant design, and integration with print drivers. Cost ranges from $500 (basic) to $3,000+ (booklet maker). ROI calculation: if you staple 100 sets daily at 30 seconds each, that's 50 minutes saved daily, justifying a finisher quickly.
