The positioning plate moves down from the stapling position to a position such that
the middle of the paper just comes to the folding position. It depends on the paper
size.
At the same time, the shutter guide motor moves the shutter guide, which is
covering the folder rollers to prevent paper arriving at the positioning plate from
being caught by the rollers, down to the home position.
Shortly after that, the folder plate motor and the folder roller motor start rotating.
The folder plate [A] moves to push the middle of the stapled sheets of paper toward
the folder rollers [B] until the folder plate return sensor [C] is de-actuated. Then, the
folder plate comes back to the home position.
After that, the folder rollers and booklet exit roller feed the paper to the booklet tray.
