CHAPTER 2 FINISHER UNIT BASIC OPERATION
E.
Staple Operation
1.
Outline
The stapler unit staples a stack of as many sheets as specified.
The stapling position differs according to the selected staple mode and paper size.
The stapler unit is checked by the stapler shift home position sensor (PI7) to find out whether it
is at the home position.
When starting operation after power-on, the finisher controller PCB drives the stapler shift
motor (M4) to return the stapler unit to the home position. If the stapler is already at the home
position, it is kept as it is in wait.
