CHAPTER 2 FINISHER UNIT BASIC OPERATION
5.
Shifting the Stapler Unit
The stapler unit is moved by the stapler shift motor (M4). Its home position is detected by the
stapler shift home position sensor (PI7). When the start signal arrives from the host copier, the
stapler moves to the center of its movement range. This movement occurs regardless of the selected
mode of delivery, as no specific mode is recognized at this point in time.
When the command for stapling arrives from the host copier after the first sheet has reached the
copier pre-registration sensor, the stapler moves to the staple wait position to suit the appropriate
stapling position and paper size.
See Figures 2-244 and later for an idea of wait position according to stapling mode.
