Layable guide
• The movable guide is used to guide the leading edge of the first sheet of paper when the
first sheet of paper is stored, thereby preventing the leading edge from contacting the
stapling unit and curving.
5.4.1
Layable guide mechanism
• The layable guide motor turns the cams at the front and rear, thereby moving the layable
guide up or down.
• The layable guide home sensor detects the position of the layable guide motor.
5.4.2
Operation timing
1. Raising the movable guide
(power ON, sleep cancelled, error reset, paper removed from tray)
2. Lowering the movable guide
(When the transport of a copy set/stack to the center stapling position is com-
pleted)
3. Raising the movable guide
(When the trailing edge of a copy set/stack deactivates the saddle exit sensor)
