The bin side plate [A] is always in the home position except during the staple
operation. The bin side plate takes part in the jogger function (see jogger
section).
In the staple mode when all the copies have been jogged by the jogger plate,
the bin side plate drive motor [B] rotates the cam drive plate [C]. The pin on
the cam drive plate raises and lowers the actuator cam [D], and the actuator
cam makes the bin side plate [E] move to the front side. Thus, the bin side
plate does not interfere with the copies [F] being brought to the staple
position by the grip assembly.
When the staple operation for the final set of copies is completed, the bin
side plate drive motor rotates the cam drive plate until the bin side plate
home position sensor [G] is actuated. This makes the bin side plate return to
the home position.
