2.2 PRE-STACK
MECHANISM
This mechanism improves productivity in staple mode and shift mode.
During stapling, the copier has to wait. This mechanism reduces the wait by
holding the first two sheets of a job while the previous job is still being stapled. It
only works during the second and subsequent sets of a multi-set copy job.
The buffer roller entrance gate [A] and buffer roller exit gate [B] are opened. Then,
the 1st sheet of paper goes around the buffer roller [C].
When the 2nd copy [D] comes to the buffer roller, the buffer roller exit gate is
closed. The two sheets of paper go to the shift tray [E] or staple tray [F].
