Canon C5045 finisher removal

[shaunt]

Hi guys! I'm so happy that I have stumbled across this forum as it seems like an absolute wealth of knowledge. I am wondering if someone would be able to help me.

I have inherited the job of moving a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5045 that has the C1 Staple Finisher and B1 Hole Punch unit attached. Does anyone know how to remove both of these? I won't be able to move it from where it is with them attached due to a lack of space and tight corners. I have checked the service manual for an installation guide of some sort, but haven't managed to find what I am looking for. I have taken some panels off but can't seem to see where anything disconnects from the main unit itself. Before I go and take a screwdriver any further and pull what is left of my hair out, I was hoping that someone had a more direct/official/tried and tested way of doing this.

Many thanks in advance,

Shaun

Very simple to remove the finisher from the coper, you can keep the holepunch attached to the finisher & move it as one piece.

Here's the installation guide.

Thank you so much! I feel like an absolute idiot for not noticing this at all. That took all of 30 seconds. You're an absolute lifesaver!

No worries, that hidden latch is not immediately obvious.

Thank you good Sir for providing this manual! It is probably worth its weight in gold, at least on 60g/m² paper duplex!
Consider a poor C5030i printer saved from the dump with your help!!
