The stapler has a staple end sensor [A] and cartridge set sensor [B]. When the
staple cartridge is inserted, it pushes the actuator [C] into the gap of the cartridge
set sensor. This tells the machine the stapler is ready for operation.
When a staple end or no cartridge condition is detected, a message is displayed
advising the operator to install a staple cartridge. If this condition is detected during
a copy job, the indication will appear, and the copy job will stop.
The staple cartridge has a clinch area [D] where jammed staples collect. The
operator can remove the jammed staples from the clinch area by raising and
lowering bracket lever [E].
