(1) Staple Mode
Depending on the selected finishing mode, the copies are directed up or
down by the junction gate [A]. A two-way solenoid is used to control the
junction gate.
(1) When the exit sensor of the copier is activated while in staple mode, the
solenoid [B] pulls the plunger in the arrow [C] direction. The junction gate
directs the copies down to transport them to the jogger unit.
(2) When the exit sensor of the copier is activated while in the sort/stack
mode, the solenoid pushes the plunger in the arrow [D] direction. The
junction gate directs the copies up to deliver them to the shift tray.
The junction gate keeps its position until a different finishing mode is selected.
