Staple system
The staple system's function is to staple the printed paper. The staple system consists of the staple
cartridge and the stapling unit. The staple cartridge holds maximum of 5,000 staples. The stapling motor
is installed in the stapling unit.
The stapling operation is performed by the staple stacker driver which controls the stapling motor. The
stapling unit has three sensors to detect the condition of the stapling unit:
●
Staple home position detection
●
Staple self prime detection
●
Staple level detection

Staple home position detection
The staple stacker detects the staple home position. The staple stacker driver monitors the STAPLE
HOMEPOSITION (STPL_HP) signal from the staple home position sensor. During this detection, the
staple stacker driver rotates the stapling motor for a specified time. If the STPL_HP signal does not
change from "H" to "L" to "H", the driver determines the stapling motor failure, stops the loads, and
notifies the formatter.
