CAUTION

  • Keep your hands clear of the paper output slot of the finisher booklet tray when pulling it out or pushing it in the finisher's staple unit. You may trap your fingers in the machine's gap and injury can result.

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.

  • When removing jammed staples, be careful not to prick your fingers.

  • When opening the faceplate of the staple cartridge, remove up to 2 staples from the faceplate regardless of whether there is a staple jam or not.

Note

  • 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", Preparation.
