Delivery Auxiliary Rib Operation - Canon SADDLE FINISHER K3 Service Manual

CHAPTER 2 OPERATION OVERVIEW

5.1.6 Delivery auxiliary rib operation

Whenever stapled paper (particularly, small amounts) is ejected into the delivery tray from
the processing tray, the rigidity of the paper may affect how well the paper stacks. In order
to lessen this effect, this machine is fitted with a delivery auxiliary rib.
The delivery auxiliary rib is driven by the delivery auxiliary rib solenoid (SL4). The de-
livery auxiliary rib solenoid comes ON just before a stack is ejected from the processing
tray and bends the stack in order to give the paper rigidity.
The operation of the delivery auxiliary rib depends on the size and quantity of the ejected
paper. The conditions under which the delivery auxiliary rib operates are described below.

A3, B4, 279.4mm x 431.8mm (11 x 17), LGL, A4R, LTR
