Note Note Service-mode tests Stapler test/stacker test Any stapler settings or offset settings that are configured at the printer or MFP control panel are ignored during the stapler test/stacker test. For the stapler test/stacker test, use letter-size or A4-sized paper. Feed the paper straight, centered, and slowly to avoid skews and jams. If a jam occurs, release the interlock switch and depress it again to reset the device. Make sure that the paper is centered. If the paper is not centered, it might jam when it comes in contact with the wings. 1 Feed two sheets of paper into the paper input area. The sheets are sent to the face-up bin. 2 Feed two sheets at a time into the paper input area. ● In the 3,000-sheet stapler/stacker, the sheets are stapled as shown below and sent to the stacker bin: • next two sheets: no staples • next two sheets: 1 staple • next two sheets: 2 staples • next two sheets: 3 staples • next two sheets: 6 staples • next two sheets: 1 staple, angled at 40° • next two sheets restart the cycle: to the face-up bin ● In the 3,000-sheet stacker, the sheets are routed as follows: • next two sheets: to the stacker bin, offset in one direction • next two sheets: to the face-up bin • next two sheets: to the stacker bin, offset in the opposite direction • next two sheets restart the cycle: to the face-up bin Stacker bin test Block the upper optical sensor and observe the movement of the stacker bin. Face-up bin-full sensor test Lift and hold up the bin-full flag until the error light blinks amber. The error light should blink amber within a few seconds. Stacker bin-full sensor test Block the upper optical sensor until the stacker bin reaches the bottom of its motion, triggering the stacker bin-full sensor; the error light should blink amber. 240 Troubleshooting ENWW
