Paper aligning mechanism (main scan direction)

• Aligning Plates are moved and the Paddle is rotated so as to align the paper at the sta-
pling position.
• The paper in the Storage Tray is aligned in the main scan direction by two Alignment
Motors and aligning plates.
A. Aligning plates
• The aligning plates are moved to the front or rear in accordance with the paper size.
• The Alignment Home Position Sensor controls the position of each aligning plate.
Paper Aligning Portion
B. Paper aligning sequence
• In normal copy and staple mode, the paper is fed into the tray at its center position.
• If no stapling is involved in the Sort or Group Copy mode, the aligning plate shifts 15 mm
to the front or rear from the center. This stacks copy sets/stacks in a saw tooth manner,
each being offset by about 30 mm with respect to the others.
This shifting motion is not performed when sets/stacks are fed into the mail bins or the
saddle unit.
