Important:
• Depending on the type of paper being stapled, the staple nails may be bent. If the bent nails are stuck inside the finisher, they may eventually cause paper jams.
• When you open the cover of the staple cartridge, remove any bent staples; otherwise staple jams may occur. Use the cover of the staple cartridge only when removing jammed staples.
