Removing Jammed Staples

This section describes how to remove jammed staples.

Keep your hands clear of the booklet finisher tray when removing misfed paper, pulling out or pushing in the finisher's staple unit. You can trap and injure your fingers if you do not.

Curled paper may cause staples to jam. To avoid this, turn paper over in the tray.
After jammed staples are removed, the stapler will automatically staple up to 10 times without stapling paper. If a staple jam occurs on the saddle stitch, the stapler will not staple after the jammed staples are removed.

Remove the jammed staples according to the finisher type. Check the type if you are unsure. For details about the type of finisher, see "Appendix", About This Machine.
