(1) Stapler Movement Controller
The stapler unit is moved by the staple shift motor (FSM). Its home
position is detected by the staple shift home position sensor
(FSTHPD). The stapler waits at the back irrespective of the staple
mode and paper size. After paper has been stacked on the pro-
cessing tray, the stapler is moved to the specified stapling position
in response to the stapling command from the host machine.
The figure below shows the standby position of the stapler and the
stapling position depending on the staple mode.
