The stapler motor [A] drives the staple sheet drive belt. The staple sheets are
fed under the hammer [B].
The stapler motor drives the staple hammer via gears [C] and two eccentric
cams [D].
When the aligned copies are brought to the stapling position by the grip, the
stapler motor starts rotating to staple the copies. When the cams complete
one rotation, the staple hammer home position sensor [E] is de-actuated. The
stapler motor then stops.
When the paper sensor [F] in the grip assembly does not detect copies under
the hammer, the stapler motor does not rotate.
The staple end sensor [G] detects staple end conditions. The cartridge set
sensor [H] detects when the staple cartridge is not installed.
The staple cartridge has a clinch area [J], in which the jammed staples are
left. Operators can remove the jammed staples from the cartridge.
