2.12 BOOKLET STAPLER UNIT
There are two staplers whose positions are fixed.
When the jogger fences finish aligning the last sheet, the jogger fences stay at the
aligning positions and stapling starts. The two staplers do not operate at the same
time, the rear stapler operates first, then the front one. This is for the following
reasons:
•
To prevent paper from becoming waved in the area between the two stapled
positions.
•
To minimize necessary electric power.
The staple hammer HP switch in each stapler detects a stapling cycle and the
staple end sensor detects the presence of staples in the cartridge.
The stapler unit, including the two staplers, can be pulled out to enable staple
cartridge replacement or jam removal. The stapler unit set sensor detects when the
stapler unit is back in the right position.
