Theory of Operation Ver1.0 Sep.2006 6. STACKER SECTION
B. Paper exit arm control
(1) Stapling mode (when the paper length is shorter than B5S in the sub scan direction)
Completing the stapling operation, the paper exit roller motor (M7) rotates to drive the paper exit belt in the
stacker section. The paper exit arm lifts up the paper to the paper exit roller, and then the paper exit roller exits
the paper to the main tray. M7 stops when the paper exit belt home sensor (PS9) turns ON.
(2) Stapling mode (when the paper length is B5S or longer in the paper feed direction)
Completing the stapling operation, the paper exit motor (M8) rotates. When the paper exit home sensor (PS12)
detects the paper exit opening is closed, the paper exit roller motor (M7) rotates to drive the paper exit arm in
the stacker section. The paper exit arm lifts up the paper to the paper exit roller, and then the paper exit roller
exits the paper to the main tray.
M7 stops when the paper exit belt home sensor (PS9) turns ON.
(3) Folding/saddle stitching mode
After completing the stapling operation, the saddle stitching stopper motor (M18) drives the saddle stitching
stopper to move the paper to the folding position. To prevent the paper exit arm to contact with the paper
standing by at the folding position, the paper exit arm does not rotate.
(4) Tri-folding mode
The paper exit roller motor (M7) rotates in the reverse direction to assist in transferring the paper to the tri-folding
position after completing the paper alignment operation. M7 stops when the paper exit belt home sensor (PS9)
turns ON.
