Loading Paper

  3. Insert the paper into the stapling slot until it reaches the desired stapling position.
  4. The stapler will operate according to the selected mode (automatic or manual).

Adjusting Throat Depth

The stapler's throat depth can be adjusted to control how far from the edge of the paper the staple is placed.

  • Locate the throat depth adjustment lever, typically on the side or front of the stapler.
  • Slide the lever to increase or decrease the throat depth. The range is from 1/8" to 3/4".
  • Test the adjustment with a scrap piece of paper before stapling important documents.
