What This Means in Plain Terms
The internal finisher reported a stapler or finishing fault. Jobs that need stapling will stop until the path is cleared.
A staple jam or cartridge seating problem is a common office cause. Ricoh documents removing and checking the staple cartridge before calling service.
Safe things you can try
- Turn the machine off.
- Remove the stapler cartridge from the finisher.
- Check for a staple jam and clear jammed staples if present.
- Reboot the machine, then reload the staple cartridge.
- Try a short staple job.
Do not do these
- Do not overfill staple jobs beyond the finisher limit.
- Do not force the cartridge if it will not seat.
Never enter service mode or clear safety codes yourself. Those steps can damage the machine or leave a safety lock uncleared.
When to call for service
If SC724 returns after clearing staple jams and reseating the cartridge, a technician is needed.
