5.5 Fold/Delivery System
5.5.1 Outline
The paper fold mechanism consists of a guide plate, paper fold rollers, and a paper push-
ing plate.
The guide plate, paper fold rollers, and paper pushing plate are driven by the staple/fold
motor (M7). The drive force is transferred with a combination of gears and cams. Motor
operation is monitored by the staple/fold motor lock sensor (PI14).
Until the paper stack reaches the folding position, the guide plate covers the paper fold
rollers to act as a paper path through which a paper stack is fed to the saddle unit and to pre-
vent a paper stack from touching the rollers.
A folding home position sensor (PI11) is provided to detect the positions of the paper fold
rollers and paper pushing plate.
The paper stack folded in two by the paper fold rollers is delivered by bind delivery roll-
ers.
The bind delivery rollers are also driven by the staple/fold motor (M7).
A bind tray sensor (PI13) is provided on the bind tray to detect presence/absence of a pa-
per stack; however, it is not used to detect a jam.
