Replacing the Staple Cartridge

When the optional Finisher-S1 is almost out of staples and the staple cartridge must be replaced, a screen similar to the one shown below appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the staple cartridge.

Use only staple cartridges intended for use with this machine.


Remark
  • We recommend that you order staple cartridges from your local authorized Canon dealer before your stock runs out.

  1. Open the front cover of the finisher.

  1. Lift the handle of the finisher unit up, and then pull it out to the left.

  • Do not place any objects on the finisher unit, or lean on it, as doing so may damage the machine, or cause the machine to fall over, resulting in personal injury.
  1. Lift and pull out the staple case from the stapler unit, holding it by the green tab.

  1. Place the staple case, as shown below, press the area indicated by PUSH, and then pull out the staple cartridge.

  1. Insert the new staple cartridge.

Press the spring-loaded case down until it clicks into place.

  • Use only staple cartridges intended for use with this machine.
  • 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.
  1. Remove the seal holding the staples together, by pulling it straight out, and then down.

  • Make sure that you pull the seal straight out, and then down. If you pull it out at an angle, it may tear.
  1. Gently push the staple case back into the finisher until it is securely in place.

  1. Lift the handle of the finisher unit up, and then return the finisher unit to its original position.

  • When returning the finisher unit to its original position, do not place your fingers or hands under the finisher, as they may get caught, resulting in personal injury.
  1. Close the front cover of the finisher.

  • When closing the front cover of the finisher, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.
  • If there are no staples ready for stapling after the cover is closed, the stapler unit automatically performs a "dry" stapling operation to reposition the staples.
