Ricoh D454-17, Manual

Page: 144 / 164

Operation sequence for folding three sheets:
• At power on (initialization) the FM6 junction gate [A] moves to home position.
• The three sheets are pre-stacked then the first two folds are done
• The FM6 stop pawl moves to the operation position [B].
[A] After the 2nd fold the sheet(s) are sent to the 3rd stopper for the last fold.
[B]
The leading edge of the sheets(s) hit stopper 3 and the upstream rollers continue rotate
(equivalent to 18 mm of feed) to flex paper toward the fold rollers.
[C]
The edge of the FM6 pawl is raised to flatten the leading edge so it cannot bend back on itself
as the paper enters the nip of the fold rollers.
[D] When the 3rd fold starts the FM6 pawl returns to its home position.
