Staple Operation

■ Outline
In staple operation, the specified number of sheets of paper (50 sheets max.) is stapled by the stapler unit. The staple position
varies depending on the staple mode.
The stapler unit is driven by the stapler shift motor (M114). The home position is detected by the stapler shift HP sensor (PS124).
In addition, if paper is set in the manual staple paper slot and the manual staple paper sensor (PS128) turns on, manual stapling
becomes possible (manual staple LED lights). If the manual staple button is pressed or a specified time elapses, stapling is
executed. The time from when the paper is set until stapling is executed automatically can be adjusted through <configuration/
registration> and service mode. (Range of settings: 1 to 5 seconds, default value: 3 seconds)
Manual stapling cannot be executes if the finisher is in one of the following conditions.
• During initial operation
• Front cover is open
• When a jam occurs
• When an error occurs
• When a staple empty alarm occurs
• When a job is being executed
• During sleep mode
• During tray function restriction mode
• When there is paper in the processing tray
• When the stapler is not at its home position
