3.4.2 Stapling

The sheets coming in from the X' port undergo tamping in the Compile Tray, and then are stapled in the
position specified by the Printer. (Up to 50 sheets)

3.4.2.1 Operation of Stapling

Stapling starts when the number of sheets deposited in the Compile Tray has reached the number of
sheets for one set. (Up to 50 sheets)
Stapling is executed by the Stapler Head that comes down to the sheets.
When the Staple Motor rotates in the normal direction (clockwise), the Stapler Head applies a staple
onto the sheets and then returns to its home position. If stapling is not completed correctly, the Staple
Motor rotates in the reverse direction (counterclockwise) to drive the Stapler Head back to its home
position.
When staples are low, the Low Staple Sensor raises a warning message and suspends stapling. This
warning message is also displayed when the Staple Cartridge is not installed.
