of staples in the cartridge.
The staple edging sensor (PI51) is used to determine whether staples are pushed up to the top of the staple cartridge.
The finisher controller circuit does not drive the staple motor (M111) unless the staple safety switch (MSW104) is
ON. This assures safety in case where you happen to put your finger in the stapler.
2.4.3 Shifting the Stapler Unit
The stapler unit is shifted by the stapler shift motor (M105). The home position is detected by the stapler shift home
position sensor (PI110). When there is a staple command from the host machine, the stapler shifts to the staple ready
position, which depends on the stapling position and paper size.
The stapler unit waits at the following points when staple mode is selected:
<Front 1-Point Stapling>
