Finisher Staple Faults
Use the following procedures when stapling issues occur with the printed output, such as when the
sheets are not stapled or the staples are bent. Contact the service representative if the problems
continue after you have tried the following solutions.
Not stapled
Bent staple
If printed sheets are stapled as shown in the following figures, contact your service representative.
One side of staple raised up
Staple bent in reverse direction
Flattened staple
Entire staple raised up
Staple raised up with center pressed inward
Important:
• Depending on the type of paper being stapled, the staple nails may be bent. If the bent nails are
stuck inside the finisher, they may eventually cause paper jams.
• When you open the cover of the staple cartridge, remove any bent staples; otherwise staple jams
may occur. Use the cover of the staple cartridge only when removing jammed staples.
