Folding control

A. Mechanism
Folding consists of the 1st folding and 2nd folding.
The 1st folding is conducted in the multi letter folding mode, the multi center folding mode, and the saddle
stitching mode. The 2nd folding is conducted only in the multi letter folding mode.
In the 1st folding operation, the 1st folding blade [7] pushes and inserts the paper between the folding rollers /1
[8] and /2 [3].
The folding rollers /1 and /2 are pressured each other by the spring [2]. The 1st folding blade is driven by the 1st
blade motor (M18) [4] via the crank mechanism [5].
In the 2nd folding operation, the 2nd folding blade [13] pushes and inserts the paper between the folding rollers
/2 [3] and /3 [14].
The folding rollers /2 and /3 are pressured each other by the spring [15]. The 2nd folding blade is driven by the
2nd blade motor (M19) [10] via the crank mechanism [11].
The folding sensor /2 (PS44) [9], the folding sensor /1 (PS7) [1], and the folding passage sensor (PS8) [12] detect
the paper.
