Need help?Do you have a question about the HP 6GW55A and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the HP 6GW55A Stapler-Stacker Finisher, an accessory designed to enhance the paper handling capabilities of compatible HP printers.
The HP 6GW55A is a module that attaches to an HP printer, providing advanced finishing options for printed documents. Its primary functions include stapling and stacking, allowing for the automatic collation and organization of print jobs. This finisher is particularly useful in environments with high-volume printing needs, where manual sorting and stapling would be time-consuming and inefficient. It integrates seamlessly with the printer's paper path, diverting finished documents to its output trays for further processing. The finisher is designed to work in conjunction with a "Second Exit" module, which may be factory-installed on some printer models (E8##### series) or needs to be ordered alongside the finisher for others (E7##### series).
The finisher has a weight capacity of 40 kg (88.2 lb), indicating its robust construction and ability to handle substantial paper loads. While specific paper capacities for stacking and stapling are not detailed in this manual, the presence of these features implies support for various paper sizes and weights commonly used in office environments. The device is powered via a connection to the printer, and its internal mechanisms are designed for precise paper movement and accurate stapling. The manual also highlights the importance of proper installation, including the connection of two cables and the secure fastening of support brackets, to ensure optimal performance and stability.
The HP 6GW55A simplifies the post-printing process by automating stapling and stacking. Users can configure print jobs to utilize these finishing options directly from their computer, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The device includes a "bin-full actuator" which, when raised and locked into an upright position, indicates that the output bin is ready to receive documents. This actuator needs to be manually engaged and verified to ensure it remains locked in place for proper operation. The manual provides clear instructions on how to raise and lock this actuator, noting that some force might be required.
Another key usage feature involves the "paper turnaround bracket." This component, which needs to be removed during installation, suggests the finisher's ability to handle duplex printing or specific paper paths within the printer. Its removal is a straightforward process, involving sliding it towards the front of the printer.
The finisher also incorporates a "lower tray support bracket" and an "upper tray," which are installed to provide stability and additional output capacity. These trays are designed to snap onto mounting brackets, and while screws are provided for the lower tray support, the upper tray typically does not require screws for secure attachment. This modular design allows for flexible configuration and easy maintenance.
The manual provides several instructions related to the maintenance and setup of the finisher. A crucial step involves opening the finisher's front door to access internal components. This allows for the removal of shipping materials, including tape, a stapler shipping lock screw, and a caution label, which are essential for initial setup. The stapler shipping lock screw (callout 2) and the caution label (callout 3) are specifically highlighted, indicating their importance for safe and correct operation.
The "green wheel" is a key maintenance component, used to adjust the stapler's position. Users are instructed to rotate this wheel to the left until a spring-loaded white tab is exposed under the stapler, and then to the right until the stapler returns to its front position and stops. This adjustment ensures the stapler is correctly aligned for optimal performance.
Furthermore, the manual details the process of inserting the stapler cartridge holder into the stapler while holding the green wheel. This suggests a user-replaceable stapler cartridge system, simplifying replenishment and reducing downtime.
The installation process itself can be considered a form of initial maintenance, as it involves carefully aligning the finisher's brackets with the printer's holes and connecting two cables. The document emphasizes the importance of these steps for the finisher's stability and functionality.
The HP 6GW55A is designed with user-friendliness in mind, offering clear visual instructions and multilingual support to guide users through installation and basic operation. Its robust design and integrated finishing capabilities make it a valuable addition to compatible HP printers, streamlining document production workflows.
