Troubleshooting
Stapler jams
Check for bent or incorrectly loaded staples. Remove any jammed staples carefully. Ensure you are using the recommended staple size for the paper thickness.
Staples not penetrating paper fully
Verify you are using the correct staple length (6mm for fewer sheets, 8mm for more). Ensure the anvil is set correctly for stapling. Check that the paper stack does not exceed the 45-sheet capacity.
Pinning function not working
