After the copies have been stapled, the stack feed-out motor [A] starts. The pawl
[B] on the stack feed-out belt [C] transports the set of stapled copies up and feeds
it to the shift tray [D].
The speed of the exit roller [E] (driven by the shift tray exit motor) is higher than the
stack feed-out belt speed. Therefore, the shift tray exit roller takes over the stack
feed-out after the leading edge reaches this roller.
Just before the stapled copies pass through the shift tray exit sensor, the stack-
feed-out motor turns off 600 ms to wait until the exit rollers have completely fed the
stapled stack out to the shift tray. Then, the stack-feed-out motor turns on again
until the pawl actuates the stack feed-out belt home position sensor [F].
