Page 51 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION b. Stitching When the center of the paper stack (stitching position) reaches the stapler's staple posi- tion, the stapler stitches the paper stack. When only one sheet is fed from the host machine, the next step (stack feed) is performed without performing the stitching operation.
Page 52 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION c. Stack feed The stack feed rollers feed the paper stack to the stack folding/delivery position where the center of the stack (stitched position) is level with the paper pushing plate and paper folding roller's nip part. Stack feed roller (upper) Paper pushing plate Stack feed roller (lower)
Page 53 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION d. Folding/delivery The paper pushing plate pushes in the center of the paper stack to feed it toward the paper fold rollers. Then, the paper fold rollers and bind delivery rollers deliver the paper stack to the bind tray.
Page 54 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 5.3 Paper Feed System 5.3.1 Outline The paper feed system feeds a stack of sheets (coming from the finisher) to the position where the center of the paper stack (stitching position) is aligned to the stapler's staple, al- lowing the next step (stitching and folding) to be performed.
Page 55 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 5.4 Stack Feed System 5.4.1 Outline The stack feed system feeds the stitched paper stack to the folding position. When stitching is complete, the feed motor (M1) rotates, causing the stack feed roller (up- per) to descend. The paper stack is sandwiched between the stack feed rollers. Then, the bind clutch (CL1) is turned ON to rotate the feed motor (M1) in the forward direction, thus feeding the paper stack to the folding position.
Page 56 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 5.5 Fold/Delivery System 5.5.1 Outline The paper fold mechanism consists of a guide plate, paper fold rollers, and a paper push- ing plate. The guide plate, paper fold rollers, and paper pushing plate are driven by the staple/fold motor (M7).
Page 57 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 5.5.2 Paper Folding Paper is folded using paper fold rollers and a paper pushing plate. Almost concurrently with the start of roller rotation, the paper pushing plate starts operat- ing to push the paper stack into the gap between the paper fold rollers. When the paper stack is fed about 10 mm with the rotation of the paper fold rollers, the paper pushing plate returns to the home position.

Page 68 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 6.2.3 Horizontal Registration Operation The horizontal registration drive for the punch slide unit is provided by the horizontal reg- istration motor (M2P). The home position of the punch slide unit is detected by the horizon- tal registration home position sensor (PI2P).
Page 69 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 2) When the horizontal registration sensor (LED1 through 4, PT1 through) suited to the paper size signal from the host machine detects the rear edge of the sheet, the horizon- tal registration motor (M2P) causes a farther move to a specific position, and stops the punch slide unit.
Page 70 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 4) When the punching operation ends, the feed motor (M1) of the fisher unit is driven and, at the same time, the horizontal registration motor (M2P) is rotated in reverse to return the punch slide unit to its home position. 5) For each sheet that arrives in succession, the punch slide unit is returned to its home po- sition, and is caused to repeat steps 1 through 4 .
Page 71 CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION 7 Detecting Jams 7.1 Outline The microprocessor (CPU) on the finisher controller PCB is programmed to check for jams in the finisher/saddle/puncher (option) at such times as set in advance. It identifies a jam in reference to the presence/absence of paper at a specific sensor. If a jam is found, the finisher controller PCB communicates the nature of the jam to the host machine in the form of a code (which may be checked in service mode of the host machine).
