Paper aligning section

5.3.1

Paper aligning mechanism (sub scan direction)

• Sheets of paper are aligned properly and stapled together inside the transport section
before being fed out onto the corresponding exit tray.
• In the Sort, Group Copy, Staple, or Center Crease/Center Staple mode, each copy set is
stored in the Storage Tray with the Upper Exit Roller separated from the Lower Exit
Roller.
• The Storage Tray Detecting Sensor detects paper in the Storage Tray.
• The Storage Paddle and Aligning Belt are driven when the Exit Motor is rotated in
reverse.
A. Operation
1. The paper fed out from the main unit is held downward by the drop lever and
dropped down into the Storage Tray by the stepped roller.
2. The paper dropped into the Storage Tray is pressed against the stopper by the pad-
dle and aligning belt so that it is aligned properly in the sub scan direction.
