2 FEEDING/DRIVE SYSTEM

2.1 Overview

The machine operates in response to commands from its host copier to perform simple
stacking, job offset, or stapling, and delivers the sheets to the delivery tray.
Z-shape folding is possible with a folder mounted. It is also possible to add covers to
stacks received from the copier before delivering them with an inserter mounted.
There are two delivery trays in the finisher section. The upper one is tray A; it mainly
stacks the paper sheets. The lower one is tray B; its role as a sorting tray (or tray B) is to re-
ceive sheets which undergo stapling, job-offset processing, or folding.
When tray B becomes filled up, tray A lowers to the position of tray B and performs the
task of tray B. At that time, tray B moves to an even lower position.
The function of the saddle stitcher is to perform saddle-stitching (center stapling), and
double-folding, and then to deliver the sheets coming from the copier.
