Replacing Staples in the BFM

There are two stapler cartridge sizes available for the Basic Finishing Module (BFM), a 30 or 100 page staple cartridge. Refer to the following procedures for either type of staple size cartridges.

NOTE: The stapler cartridge in the BFM Plus can be replaced if the BFM Plus is running in bypass mode.

CAUTION! Do not open the BFM front door and the stapler door at the same time.

To Replace BFM Stapler Cartridges

1. In the user interface, select [Printer], then select [Unlock Finisher]. The Unlock Basic Finisher window appears.
2. In the Stapler Drawer field, click <Unlock> . You should hear the drawer mechanism click.
3. At the BFM, pull out the stapler drawer.
4. Remove the cartridge to be replaced by grasping the colored handle and pulling away from the stapler mechanism. Refer to the label on the stapler drawer for detailed removal instructions.
5. Replace new cartridge.
6. At the BFM, push in to close the stapler drawer.
7. In the Unlock Basic Finisher window, the Stapler Drawer field should now display Locked.
8. In the Unlock Basic Finisher window, select <Close>.

NOTE: The current machine software does not distinguish between the 30 Sheet Stapler Cartridge and the 100 Sheet Stapler Cartridge. If the 30 Sheet Stapler Cartridge is loaded in the machine, and a job with more than 30 sheets is submitted for stapling, a mis-staple or stapler jam will probably occur. If the 30 Sheet Stapler Cartridge is used, it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that jobs exceeding 30 sheets are not submitted for stapling.
