Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Staples are not feeding or jamming. | Incorrect staple size, bent staples, or an empty staple magazine. | Ensure you are using 1/4" standard staples. Check the magazine for bent staples and remove them. Reload the magazine if empty. |
| Stapler does not penetrate all sheets. | Too many sheets, or staples are too short. | Reduce the number of sheets to within the 20-sheet capacity. Ensure you are using 1/4" standard staples. |
| Staple magazine does not open. | Red push button not fully depressed or mechanism is stuck. | Press the red button firmly and ensure it is fully depressed. If stuck, gently wiggle the magazine while pressing the button. |
