Asked by how do you adjust from 3-hole
Thank you for your question. There is a knob on the top of the machine that lets you switch between 3 and 2 hole punching. The 2 hole punch spacing is set to the width of a 2 prong folder. The hole placing is not adjustable. There is a demo video on the product page that shows the operation and hole placement.

The Swingline® 3230 Electric Punch (7704270) does not staple. The Swingline® 3230ST Electric Punch/Stapler(7704280) is the only version that has both hole punch and stapling functions.

Unfortunately our electric punches do not adjust to this size. You can look at our manual punches on www.swingline.com to see if one of those products will work for you.
