When the stapler cartridge is locked and in position, actuator [A] deactivates the
cartridge set sensor [B] and the stapler is ready for operation.
When aligned copies are brought to the stapling position by the positioning roller
and jogger fences, the staple hammer motor [C] starts stapling.
During stapling, the stapler trims off the excess length of the staples. This length of
the trimmings depends on the number of copies in the set. They will be very small
for a stack containing 100 sheets.
The staple trimmings drop into the trap door [D] inside the stapler. When the
stapler unit returns to its home position, solenoid {E} energizes opens the trap door.
The staple trimmings drop into the staple trimmings hopper [F].
The staple trimmings hopper descends as it fills, until actuator [G] activates the
staple trimmings hopper full sensor [H]. A message asks the user to empty the
staple trimmings.
