Using the ring binder

Removing bound booklets from the ring binder tray

CAUTION

  • Keep your hands clear of the inside of the ring binder and the space under the ring binder tray. You can trap your fingers if you do not.

Important

  • Be sure not to exit from Energy Saver mode or to switch the machine on when the ring binder door is open and the binding unit is disconnected. Doing so will affect initialization, causing the ring binder function to become unavailable (although other functions will be unaffected).

  • If you inadvertently do this, connect the ring binder's binding unit again, close the door, and then turn the power off and back on to restore normal operation.

  • When removing bound booklets from the ring binder tray, be careful not to catch the rings on the machine.

Inserting pages into an existing ring bound booklet

CAUTION

  • When binding paper manually with the ring opener, take care not to trap or injure fingers.

You can use the ring stand and ring opener to insert new pages into the existing ring bound booklets. Use these devices when you need to insert covers, replace existing pages, or add new pages.
