Replacing the Staple Cartridge (Inner Finisher-F1)

When the Inner Finisher-F1 is almost out of staples and the staple cartridge 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.

NOTE
The Inner Finisher-F1 is an optional product. We recommend that you order staple cartridges from your local authorized Canon dealer before your stock runs out. Use only staple cases intended for use with this machine.

Pull out the staple case from the finisher.

	1. Open the front cover of the finisher.
	2. Lift and pull out the staple case from the stapler unit, holding it by the green tab.

Pull out the empty staple cartridge from the staple case.

	1. Press the areas indicated by PUSH on both sides of the staple case.
	2. Once you have released the spring-loaded case, pull out the staple cartridge.

Insert a new staple cartridge into the staple case.

	1. Insert a new staple cartridge.
	2. Press the spring-loaded case down until it clicks into place.
	3. Remove the seal holding the staples together, by pulling it straight out.

IMPORTANT
Do not remove the seal that holds the staples together before you place the staple cartridge into the staple case. Only one staple cartridge can be inserted at a time. Make sure that you pull the seal straight out. If you pull it out at an angle, it may tear.

Attach the staple case to the finisher.

1. Gently push the staple case back into the finisher and push down firmly until it is securely in place.

2. Close the front cover of the finisher.

CAUTION
When closing the front cover of the finisher, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.

NOTE
After the cover is closed, the stapler unit may automatically perform a "dry" stapling operation to reposition the staples.
