Removing Jammed Staples

If a staple jam occurs, remove the jammed staple by following the procedures indicated in the animation that appears on the screen. This section describes how to remove jammed staples when the procedure is not displayed on the screen.

CAUTION


  • 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.

Important

  • Curled paper may cause staples to jam. To avoid this, turn paper over in the tray.

  • When the finisher is installed, after jammed staples are removed, staples will not be ejected the first few times when you use the stapler. If a staple jam occurs on the saddle stitch, the stapler will not staple after the jammed staples are removed.

Note

  • The sheet which lists the procedure for removing jammed staples is on the inside of the front cover of the finisher.

  • Remove the jammed staples according to the finisher type. Check the type if you are unsure of the finisher type. For details about type of finisher, see "Guide to Functions of the Machine's Options", Getting Started.
