The machine has only one stapler. It does stapling for booklets and for corner
stapling.
The stapler unit motor moves the stapler from side to side. The stapler unit HP
sensor detects when the stapler unit is at home position.
In corner staple mode, at the start of the job, the stapler moves to the position
where the stapler will be inserted.
In booklet mode, at the start of a job, the stapler moves to a starting position that
depends on the paper size, as follows:
B4 or shorter than B4: Rear side staple position
Longer Than B4: Center position. When the stapler is at the center position, bracket
releases 'stopper L', which catches the bottom edge of the paper for booklet
stapling with longer paper sizes. This will be described in a later section.
If the stapler safety sensor [D] detects the stapler unit at its initialization, the stapler
unit stops moving until the stack feed out belt pawl and stopper S are at home
position. If the stapler unit does not stop, it could collide with the pawl and/or the
stopper.
