3-7. Paddles
Paper-pulling operation
• Paper sheets accumulated in the Compile Tray are pushed toward the End Wall by the rotating Compile Main
Paddle and Compile Sub Paddle.
These Paddles are rotated by the Paddle Motor.
• While the Compile Main Paddle always contacts the paper, the Sub Paddle is generally positioned not to contact
paper. The Paddle Support Clutch activates only when paper is transported to the Compile Tray.
The Paddle Motor rotates the shaft a single turn for the up/down motion to make the Sub Paddle contact the
paper. The Sub Paddle contacts the paper for this one rotation of the shaft.
The Sub Paddle home position (raised position) is detected by the Sub Paddle Home Sensor.
Paddle vertical operations
• The heights of the Compile Main Paddle and Compile Sub Paddle are adjusted based on the thickness of
the paper collected in the Compile Tray. Height adjustments are performed by the Compile Paddle Up/Down
Solenoid and Sub Paddle Up/Down Solenoid.
> The Paddles generally rise when there are 51 or more sheets, but this setting can be changed using Test Mode
No. 4756 "COMPILE UP LIMIT" for the Compile Main Paddle and Test Mode No. 4757 "SUB PADDLE UP
LIMIT" for the Compile Sub Paddle.
• If too many sheets collect in the Compile Tray, the leading edges of the paper may curl against the End Wall,
resulting in compilation failure.
To prevent this, after the 60th sheet, the Compile Main Paddle lifts and descends after every five sheets to press
against the leading edges of paper.
