Staple cartridge replacement
The message “
ADD STAPLES.
” will appear when the staple
cartridge is empty. Replace the staple cartridge as follows:
1 Open the stapler cover.
2 Lift the green release lever and remove the staple
cartridge from the stapler.
● A few staples will be left in the cartridge. Remove and discard
them.
3 Insert a new sheet of paper (8-1/2” x 11” or A4 size) to
the tray as shown in the picture to make the stapler
work properly.
4 Check that the first staple in the new cartridge is at the
tip of the cartridge.
● If the first staple is not at the tip, pull it to the tip. If any staples are
protruding past the cartridge tip, tear them off at the STAPLE
TEAR line and align the first staple with the tip.
● A cartridge holds 5,000 staples.
5 Push the new staple cartridge in until it clicks in place.
6 Close the stapler cover.
● The stapler will strike three times without stapling and feed
staples automatically.
● Remove the paper from the tray.
● To check that the stapler works properly, copy an original and
staple it.
