Multifunction Finisher II (option)
3-9. Stapler
• When paper sheets for a full booklet accumulate in the Compile Tray, the Stapler moves to the specified position
to staple the paper.
• During this operation, the End Wall remains open to prevent interference with the Stapler.
To keep paper from sliding down, the Eject Clamp section descends to keep the paper in place.
• The End Wall can open only when the Stapler is centered. The Stapler center position is detected by the Staple
Center Position Sensor.
• The Stapler is moved by the Staple Move Motor. The Stapler home position (forefront position) is detected by
the Staple Move Home Sensor.
• The rail on which the Stapler travels is curved on the front and rear to permit angled stapling at paper corners.
However, since the Tamper moves the paper to the front for stapling, angled stapling on the rear is possible only
on A3 or A4-wide-edge-fed paper. (The front-to-rear distance of the rail is equivalent to the length of the longer
side of an A4 sheet.)
• The stapling operation is driven by the Stapler Motor.
• The Low Staple Sensor detects whether the Stapler cartridge is set in the Stapler and also detects the low
amount of staplers left in the cartridge.
• The Staple Ready Sensor detects whether the tips of the staples reach the staple head.
• The Staple Home Sensor detects the home position of the staple clincher.
