The stapling position depends on the staple mode and paper size.
When the Machine starts immediately after power-on, the Finisher Controller PCB drives the Slide Motor

Stapler Frame. It stops when the Slide Home Position Sensor (PI18) on the Slide PCB located under the
Stapler Unit. Next, the Slide Motor is driven a specified number of pulses. The Stapler Unit moves to rear
