5. OPERATION
5.2.2 Operation
A. Alignment section
• The alignment section performs stapling, aligning, sorting, and offsetting.
• The paper is conveyed, one sheet at a time, onto the alignment section for subsequent
necessary operation.
B. Alignment plate
• The alignment plate/F and alignment plate/R align the paper.
• The alignment plate/F and alignment plate/R are driven by the alignment motor/F and
alignment motor/R, respectively.
The alignment plate home sensor/F and alignment plate home sensor/R detect the posi-
tion of the alignment plate/F and alignment plate/R, respectively.

C. Shift control
• In the sort or group copy mode, the alignment plate shifts to the front or rear. This stacks
copy sets/stacks in a saw tooth manner, each being offset by about 30 mm with respect
to the others.
• The registration in normal print mode varies depending on the paper size, stapling posi-
tion, and the position of the alignment plate during paper exit.
