You can enable the staple feature on a Xerox printer when printing from a MacOS device.

These instructions were created using a MacBook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.0.1, printing a PDF file to a Xerox Altalink C8045 with stapling finish and uses the Adobe Reader App as an example.

> ⚠️ Your experience may vary depending on your device, Apps, or Xerox printer model and drivers.

1. Open your Adobe PDF file.
2. Click **Print** from the File menu.
3. Select a printer with stapling capability.
4. Click **Printer** from the lower lefthand corner of the window (this function may be found in a different location depending on your OS and print driver version).
5. If this popup appears, click **Yes.**
6. Click **Printer Options.**
7. From the dropdown menu, click **Printer Features** (You may have to scroll down to find Printer Features).
8. A popup window will appear.  Set the following feature settings:
  1. Finishing: Stapling
  2. Stapling: 1, 2, or 3 Staple
  3. Staple Location: top left or multiple choice
9. Click **OK.**

The printing function has been enabled.

To exit out of the menus, click **Print, Print.**
