Alignment control

A. Alignment mechanism
The alignment in the main scan direction of paper conveyed to the stacker is made by the alignment plate /Up
[4] which is opened and closed through the rotation of the alignment motor /Up (M5) [1].
When M5 rotates (in normal/reverse rotation), the alignment plate /Up is opened and closed through the align-
ment belt [2].
The home position of the alignment plate /Up is detected by the alignment home sensor /Up (PS8) [3].

B. Alignment control
Transmitting the FS operation signal [1] from the main body, the alignment motor /Up (M5) rotates to close the
alignment plate, and then it stops the alignment plate at the standby position that is a little wider than the paper
width [2].
M5 performs the alignment operation by rotating in the forward and reverse direction to move the alignment
plate /Up back and forth a specified period of time after the stacker entrance sensor (PS5) detects the trailing
edge of the paper. The alignment operation is performed for every paper.
