SECTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.7 STAPLER UNIT SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT
[A]
Customers can select one of the following three different staple modes:
Staple 1: Top left
Staple 2: Bottom left
Staple 3: Top/Bottom left
The stapler drive motor [A] (stepper motor) moves the stapler unit [B] from
side to side. When the Start key is pressed, the stapler moves from its home
position to the staple position.
If the staple mode 3 is selected, the stapler unit moves to the front staple
position first, then moves to the rear staple position. However, for the next
copy set, it staples in the reverse order; that is, at the rear side first and then
at the the front.
After the job is completed, the stapler unit moves back to its home position.
(The stapler unit home position sensor [C] is actuated.)
The staple position can be changed using SP mode.
