Replacing the Staple Cartridge

When the optional Inner Finisher-B1 runs out of staples, the message <Load staples.> appears on the touch panel display. In this case, replace the staple cartridge as described below.
NOTE
We recommend that you order new staple cartridges from your local authorized Canon dealer before your stock runs out. (See “Consumables,” in the User’s Guide.)
1
Open the front cover of the finisher.
2
Grasp the staple case by the green tab to lift and pull it from the stapler unit.
3
Squeeze the staple case from both sides (press the area indicated by PUSH), and lift the spring-loaded case.
NOTE
You can lift the spring-loaded case only when no staples are left inside the cartridge.
4
Remove the empty staple cartridge.
5
Insert a new staple cartridge in the staple case.
IMPORTANT
Use only staple cartridges designed for use with this machine. (See “Consumables,” in the User’s Guide.)
Do not remove the seal that holds the staples together in this step.
NOTE
The staple case can hold only one staple cartridge.
6
Press the spring-loaded case down until it clicks into place.
7
Remove the seal that holds the staples together by pulling it straight out.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the seal out at an angle, as it may tear.
8
Return the staple case to its original position in the stapler unit.
Make sure that the staple case clicks into place.
9
Close the front cover of the finisher.
When closing the cover, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.
NOTE
As soon as the cover is closed, the stapler unit automatically conducts several dry fires to reposition the staples.
