Empty the Hole Punch Waste Container

When the hole punch waste container is full, a message appears on the printer control panel. When the message appears, empty the waste container of all paper scraps.

Note:Basic Punch is an optional feature. The waste container is present only if the Basic Punch option is part of your printer configuration.

Important:

• Before performing this procedure, ensure that the printer is not printing.

• Ensure that the printer remains powered on when replacing the staple waste container. If powered off, the printer does not recognize the replacement of the waste container, and the message remains displayed.

• After you replace the waste container, close the finisher front cover. Ensure that the printer can print a test page.

1. Open the finisher front cover.

   Important: Ensure that you empty the container completely. If any waste or scraps remain in the waste container, the container becomes full before a full message appears on the control panel, causing a fault to occur.
