Finisher

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

  1. Turn the machine off.
  2. Remove the stapler cartridge from the finisher.
  3. Check for a staple jam and clear jammed staples if present.
  4. Reboot the machine, then reload the staple cartridge.
  5. 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.
