Claim 14:
15. A surgical robotic system, comprising:
a housing comprising a rotary drive;
a motor that applies a rotary motion to the rotary drive during a firing stroke;
a rotary interface that releasably couples to the rotary drive;
a replaceable staple cartridge, wherein the replaceable staple cartridge comprises staples removably stored therein a cartridge jaw, comprising:
a channel configured to receive the replaceable staple cartridge;
a longitudinal cartridge jaw slot;
a proximal cartridge jaw window; and
indicators distal to the proximal cartridge jaw window

an anvil jaw, comprising:
an anvil body, comprising:
a first side facing away from the cartridge jaw; and
a second side facing toward the cartridge jaw;

a longitudinal anvil jaw slot on the first side of the anvil body; and
an anvil jaw window on the second side of the anvil body;

a firing assembly drivable by the rotary interface, wherein the firing assembly comprises a firing member movable from a proximal position to a distal fully-fired position during the firing stroke, wherein the firing member is movable within the longitudinal cartridge jaw slot and the longitudinal anvil jaw slot during the firing stroke, and wherein the firing member comprises:
an anvil jaw-engaging portion, wherein the anvil jaw-engaging portion is viewable through the anvil jaw window when the firing member is in the proximal position; and
a cartridge jaw-engaging portion configured to engage the cartridge jaw, wherein the cartridge jaw-engaging portion is viewable through the proximal cartridge jaw window when the firing member is in the proximal position, wherein an edge of the proximal cartridge jaw window comprises an angled slope into the longitudinal cartridge jaw slot; and

a control circuit comprising a processor configured to cause the motor to reset the firing member to the proximal position.
