7.2.4
Stacker paper exit control
• The paper exit roller motor controlled by the FNS control board drives the paper exit belt
of the stacker via the coupling gear.
A. Paper exit belt operation
• The paper exit arm [2] mounted on the paper exit belt [1] exits the paper to the finishing
tray1 in the stapling mode.
• The paper exit roller motor [4] drives the paper exit belt [1] via the coupling pin [3].
• The paper exit belt home sensor [5] detects the home position of the paper exit arm.
• Only with FS-518 if six or more sheets of A4S or larger paper are stacked in staple mode,
4
paper exit roller motor rotates reversely to feed the paper exit belt in reverse direction.
By this operation, the paper assist arm [6] (equipped in FS-518 only) slips under stacked
sheets of paper and warps the paper for paper curl prevention.
