Re: Stapler Not Stapling

What happens when you try to corner staple? Does it do nothing, or does it make the staple sound but pages net stapled? Are the papers being pulled into the stapler all the way. I have seen on other finnishers where a mylar would get pulled back and prevent paper from going all the way in. Just some thoughts.

Called Support line today, tech said copier turned 10 years old and that there's got to be ten years worth of paper dust, chads from 3 hole punch staples etc. So I Tore it apart cleaned and lubed the stapler unit rail put it back together tested it with 1 staple ------It worked. So then ran 10 sets stapled ---didnt work. Ran more stapled copies went behind finisher and manually pulled stapler into corner and it worked. Going to order new stapler unit rail, Stepper Motor and Home Position Sensor.
