Clear a staple jam in the saddle stitch unit
Introduction
NOTE
This procedure is only required when the optional Saddle Finisher is installed.
If a staple jam occurs in the saddle stitch unit of the stacker/stapler (Saddle Finisher), the control
panel will display the location of the staple jam and a procedure to clear the staple jam. Follow
the procedure on the control panel to clear the staple jam. The procedure below describes how to
clear a staple jam in the saddle stitch unit of the stacker/stapler.
Before you begin
First remove all output sheets from the booklet tray.
CAUTION
Be careful when you handle optional units that are attached to the machine. When you open
the door or cover of an optional unit to replace a staple cartridge, discard the punch waste, or
clear paper jams or staple jams, prints may still be output if other optional units are operating
normally, and are not involved in the paper or staple jam removal procedure.
NOTE
If a paper jam occurs at the same time as a staple jam, first remove the jammed paper, then
remove the jammed staples.
