Stapling operation
There are four types of stapling. Paper is stapled with the selected stapling type and then moved to the shifted eject posi-
tion.
Figure 2-1-13

1. The eject guide solenoid (EGSOL) turns on
so that the eject guide rises and prevents
the paper leading edge from contacting the
eject roller when paper is stapled.
Figure 2-1-14
2. The front/rear upper side registration guides
and the front/rear lower side registration
guides (for large size paper only) move to
the positions that are slightly outside the
actual paper width.
3. The lower paper conveying belt motor
(PCBM-L) rotates forward so that the inter-
mediate tray lower sliding plate moves
upward and moves paper to the stapling
travel height.
4. The front/rear lower side registration guides
return to their home positions.
5. The lower paper conveying belt motor
(PCBM-L) rotates backward so that the
intermediate tray lower sliding plate moves
downward and moves paper to the stapling
height.
* The operations described in step 1 to 5
above are not performed when A4/11" x 8 1/
2" paper is used.
