The paper-folding mechanism includes a guide plate, paper-folding rollers, paper-pushing plate, and
paper-positioning plate. The guide plate covers the folding rollers to prevent sheets from contacting
the folding rollers during output. Before folding, the guide plate descends, allowing the folding rollers
to operate. The following tables show the names and the functions of the motors and sensors used by
the paper folding mechanism.
Motor Function
Paper-folding motor (M2) Drives the folding roller
Paper-pushing-plate motor (M8) Drives the paper-pushing plate
Sensor Function
Paper-pushing-plate-motor clock sensor (PI1) Detects the paper-pushing-plate-motor clock
Paper-folding-motor clock sensor (PI4) Detects the paper-folding-motor clock
Output-bin paper sensor (PI6) Detects the presence/absence of a stack of sheets in the
saddle output bin
Delivery sensor (PI11) Detects the paper delivery
Paper-pushing-plate home-position sensor (PI14) Detects the paper pushing plate leading edge position
Vertical-path paper sensor (PI17) Detects the presence/absence of paper after removal of a
jam
Paper-folding home-position sensor (PI21) Detects the paper-folding home position
