Operation
7.2.1
1st folding control
The registration roller [5], the conveyance roller [4], and the 1st folding roller [3] convey the paper to the 1st fold-
ing stopper section via the gate /Up [2]. A loop [6] is formed between the 1st folding roller [3] and the convey-
ance drive roller [7] when the leading edge of the paper is pressed against the 1st folding stopper [8]. The loop
grows, and then it is caught by these rollers and the 1st folding is conducted. The paper is then conveyed to the
2nd folding stopper section.
The position of the 1st folding depends on the position of the 1st folding stopper. The 1st stopper motor (M2)
sets the position in accordance with the number of steps from the 1st stopper home sensor (PS3) [1].
In the Z-folding mode with the punch mode, the registration motor (M1) and the conveyance motor (M6) stops
to conduct the punch operation after the 1st folding operation, and then M1 and M6 turns ON to conduct the
2nd folding operation.

A. Operation timing
The 1st folding stopper motor (M2) turns ON [1] to drive the 1st folding stopper to the appropriate position [2] in accordance
with the paper size a specified period of time after transmitting the start signal from the main body.
Transmitting the termination signal [3] from the main body, M2 replaces the 1st folding stopper to the home position [4].
