BOOKLET UNIT GATE MECHANISM

2.8 BOOKLET UNIT GATE MECHANISM
There are two junction gates [A] and three paper sensors [B] at the entrance area
of the booklet unit.
Depending on paper size, the appropriate gate solenoid(s) [C] are energized to
close the gate(s) in order to transport paper to the positioning plate [D] through a
suitable paper path.
This is done for the following reasons:
•
To detect the trailing edge of paper with the correct sensor.
•
To prevent the leading edge of the next sheet from hitting the trailing edge of the
previous sheets on the positioning plate.
