5. OPERATION
B. Handling tray conveyance operation
(1) Sort mode
• When the FS start signal turns ON, the paper exit motor (M3) rotates in the normal direction to convey
paper to the main tray. M3 turns OFF a specified period of time after the intermediate conveyance sensor
(PS3) detects the trailing edge of the last paper.
(2) Staple mode
1.
When the FS start signal turns ON, M3 rotates in the normal direction. It stops a specified period of time after
PS3 [3] detects the trailing edge of paper.
2. A specified period of time after the stop, M3 rotates in the reverse direction to convey [1] paper to the han-
dling tray [2].
3.
After completion of the stapling operation, M3 rotates in the normal direction to exit [6] the stapled paper [5]
to the main tray. At this time, the 1st [4] and the 2nd [7] sheets of paper of the next copy are also conveyed
to the main tray simultaneously.
4.
A specified period of time after PS3 detects the trailing edge of the 1st and the 2nd sheets of paper of the
next copy, M3 stops and rotates again in the reverse direction to convey paper to the handling tray.
