Stapling; Overview - Canon SADDLE FINISHER K3 Service Manual

5 STAPLING

5.1.1 Overview

In the stapling operation, a specified number of sheets are stacked on the processing tray
and then stapled and delivered.
The stapling position depends on the staple mode and the size of paper being used. When
the operation starts after the power has been switched on, the finisher controller PCB drives
the stapler drive motor (M10) to return the stapler to the home position. If the stapler is al-
ready in the home position, it is left as it is.
On the stapler's travel path, there are three sensors which indicate that the stapler's halt
position is not obstructing the knurled belt's shunt action.
There are two types of staples, for 50 page stapling and for 100 page stapling. The stapler
unit has a function for differentiating between the two types.
