See "Adobe PostScript 3 Version 3010 and 3011 Product Supplement",

/Staple 3 means: Staple after each page set, as defined by the Collate
parameter (PLR3, p. 419).
/StapleDetails is a product-specific key. See the Addendum for your
printer.

In the page setup section.
Here's a simple PS job that staples 2 and 3 pages. Try it.

%!
<</Staple 0>> setpagedevice
showpage
<</Staple 4>> setpagedevice
showpage % 2 pages are stapled
<</Staple 0>> setpagedevice
showpage
showpage
<</Staple 4>> setpagedevice
showpage % 3 pages are stapled

Don't staple.

/Staple 3 depends on the values of /Collate and #copies

Page size first or set them together.

See above. Ask your printer manufacturer for the Addendum.
