■ Staple-Free Binding Unit
When the staple-free binding motor (M116) drives and the cam rotates once, the binding unit pinches the paper. The wave-shaped
upper teeth and lower teeth of the binding unit bite the paper to bind it. The cam rotation status is detected by the staple-free
binding HP sensor (PS129) to detect the home position of the binding unit.
