The stapler/stacker controller determines a stapler/stacker lifter motor failure. The controller notifies the
formatter through the DC controller when the following sensor is not sensed after the stapler/stacker lifter
motor is reversed:
●
Output bin 3 higher limit sensor
●
Output bin 3 lower limit sensor
●
Output bin 3 media full sensor
Stacker mode
Stacker mode does not designate an output bin. It delivers the printed page to the output bin 3 first and then
to the next bin up.
When the output bin 3 media full sensor detects that output bin 3 is full, the stapling mailbox delivers to
output bin 2. When the output bin 2 media full sensor detects that the output bin 2 is full, the stapling
mailbox delivers to output bin 1.

The stapler/stacker controller determines a if the stapling mailbox is full and notifies the formatter through
the DC controller when it encounters the following condition:
●
The output bin 1 media full is detected.
●
The staple operation is designated when the output bin 3 is full of paper.
