The staple driver supports a first staple removably stored in said first longitudinal row and a second staple removably stored in said second longitudinal row. The staple driver and said anvil are configured to co-operate to deform said first staple to a first fired height and to deform said second staple to a second fired height. The firing member comprises a first portion configured to extend through said first slot and a second portion configured to engage said anvil. The anvil further comprises a second slot including a lateral portion extending behind a longitudinal row of said forming pockets.
