Check The Status Of The Staple Cartridges - Canon AK1 Operation Manual

Check the status of the staple cartridges

Introduction
The stacker/stapler is the output location that can staple printed documents before these are
delivered into an output tray. Before each of the following output trays, 2 staplers are present:
• The upper tray.
• The lower tray.
• The booklet tray (optional).
The booklet tray is only available when your stacker/stapler is equipped with the optional
saddle stitch unit.
When all the staple cartridges are sufficiently filled, the staple icon in the dashboard is blue.
When the staple icon in the dashboard is orange or red, one of the staple cartridges is empty or
almost empty. You must refill the staple cartridge as soon as possible.
To find out which staple cartridge is empty or almost empty, you must go to the [Printer] section
of the [System] view. The icon for the staple cartridge that must be refilled is orange or red.
NOTE
Even when the staple icon is blue, you can still go to the [System] view to check the number of
staples that has been used since the last refill.
