OF-8 Staple Cartridge Checkout Procedure
The unformed staple roll is wound too tightly in the Staple Cartridge and/or the Driver Bar is out
of position. This may cause the following:
•
The Convenience Stapler is failing to staple documents.
• The Staple Cartridge cannot be installed correctly in the Convenience Stapler.
• The Staple Cartridge pops out of the Convenience Stapler when attempting to staple.
Staple Cartridge Checkout
To ensure the unformed staple roll in the Staple Cartridge is not wound too tight, do the follow-
ing:
•
Orient the Staple Cartridge as shown in Figure 1 .
• Using one hand, grasp the Staple Cartridge along the top and bottom.
• Vigorously snap the cartridge in the direction of the arrow (refer to Figure 1 ) about 10
times being careful not to squeeze the cartridge too tightly. You should be able to hear the
roll ‘clunking’ back and forth inside the cartridge.
To ensure the Driver Bar is in the correct position, do the following:
•
Check to see if the Driver Bar is flush with the leading edge of the cartridge as shown in
Figure 2 .
• If necessary, use a pen or other pointed tool to move the plate edge tab located on the left
side of the cartridge.
• Move the tab until the Driver Bar is even with the leading edge of the cartridge.
• Ensure the stapler is in the home position when re-inserting the cartridge into the Staple
Head.
Ensure the first staple is in the correct position and the staple is not damaged:
•
If correctly positioned, the staple will be laying down flat on the Driver Bar.
• If the staple is oriented on end, as shown in Figure 3 , or if the staple appears to be mal-
formed in any way, remove it.
