Alignment /Lw control

A. Alignment /Lw mechanism
While in the saddle stitching mode, the folding mode and the tri-folding mode, the alignment in the main scan
direction of paper is made by the oscillation of the alignment plate /Up and the alignment plate /Lw.
The oscillation of the alignment plate /Lw is made by the rotation of the alignment motor /Lw (M16) [2].
When M16 rotates (in forward/reverse rotation), the alignment plate /Lw is opened and closed through the align-
ment belt /Lw [4].
The home position of the alignment plate /Lw is detected by the alignment home sensor /Lw (PS24) [1].

B. Alignment /Lw control
In the folding/saddle stitching/tri-folding mode, transmitting the FS operation signal from the main body, the
alignment motor /Lw (M16) rotates to close the alignment plate /Lw [1], and then it stops the alignment plate at
the standby position that is a little wider than the paper width [2].
M16 performs the alignment operation by rotating in the forward and reverse direction to move the alignment
plate /Lw 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 [3].
