Replacing the Staple Case in the Saddle Stitcher Unit (Booklet Finisher-J1)

When the saddle stitcher unit of the Booklet Finisher-J1 is almost out of staples and the staple case must be replaced, a screen prompting you to replace the staple case appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the staple case.

IMPORTANT
If necessary, remove all output paper in the booklet tray before replacing the staple cartridge of the saddle stitcher unit.

NOTE
This procedure is necessary only if the Booklet Finisher-J1 is attached (the Booklet Finisher-J1 is an optional product).

Remove the black part on the end before inserting the staple case.
