Stacker section

5.3.1

Paper aligning mechanism (sub scan direction)

• Sheets of paper are aligned properly and stapled together inside the stacker section before
being fed out onto the corresponding tray.
• In the Sort, Group, Staple, or Half Fold/Fold & Staple mode, each copy set is stored in the
Stacker with the Upper Exit Roller separated from the Lower Exit Roller.
• The Stacker Sensor (PS8) detects paper in the Stacker.
• The Stacker Paddle and Aligning Belt are driven when the Exit Motor (M1) is rotated in
reverse.
A. Operation
1. The paper fed out from the main body is held downward by the Drop Lever [7] and
dropped down into the Stacker by the Intermediate Conveyance Roller /2 [4].
2. The paper dropped into the Stacker is pressed against the Paper Stopper [5] by the
Paddle [3] and Aligning Belt [1] so that it is aligned properly in the sub scan direction.
