Jogging / Offset Mechanism
Jogging Sequence
Each sheet, upon entering the accumulator, is aligned by the jogging
bar which moves the sheet horizontally until the edge of the sheet
contacts the registration plate. The paper detecting sensor detects
the paper position for stapling.
Offsetting Sequence
Sheets of jogged paper are offset by the horizontal movement of the
jogging bar. The jogging bar, is moved horizontally by the rack and
pinion mechanism, while the jogging motor rotates. Each plate
spring on the jogging bar pushes the rack in the direction of the
pinion gear, so that the rack and pinion gears meet securely. The
distance of the offset bar movement depends on paper size, A4 or
letter.
