Replacing the Staple Cartridge in the Saddle Stitcher Unit (Booklet Finisher-K1)

When the saddle stitcher unit of the Booklet Finisher-K1 is almost out of staples and the staple cartridge in the saddle stitcher unit must be replaced, a screen prompting you to replace the staple cartridge appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the staple cartridge.

IMPORTANT
Take care when handling the optional equipment that is attached to the machine. When an optional unit's cover is opened to replace a staple cartridge, discard the punch waste/trim waste/staple waste, or clear paper 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. If necessary, remove all of the output paper in the Booklet Tray before replacing the staple cartridge in the saddle stitcher unit.
