Stacking Sheets On The Processing Tray - Canon SADDLE FINISHER K3 Service Manual

CHAPTER 2 OPERATION OVERVIEW

2.3.2 Stacking sheets on the processing tray

a. Handling the first sheet (other than A5R or Z-shape folding)
The tray auxiliary plate is outside the machine before the first sheet moves past the deliv-
ery roller. (It may, however, be inside the machine under certain conditions.)
The swing guide moves up when the trailing edge of the sheet moves past the sort deliv-
ery sensor (PI4), releasing the sheet from the stack delivery roller.
Then, the paddle taps on the top surface of the sheet, and butts the trailing edge of the
sheet against the processing tray stopper. The paddle rotates in numbers determined by pa-
per size, the number of sheets contained in the stack and the presence of staples. (Usually it
rotates 0 to 2 times).
The stack delivery roller starts to rotate in reverse to assist butting the sheet against the
stopper.
Offset sheet
b. Handling the second and subsequent sheets
When the trailing edge of the second and subsequent sheets moves past the delivery sen-
sor, the paddle starts to tap the top surface of the sheet, butts its trailing edge against the pro-
cessing tray stopper, and deposits it on top of the existing stack. The tray auxiliary plate re-
mains outside the machine.
