3.2 STAPLE MODE
When the final set of copies has been jogged in sort mode, the staple unit
staples the stacked copies as follows:
Figure 1:
If the final copy is fed out to a bin other than the first one, all the bins lower to
the home position (the first bin is positioned at the bin exit area). The jogger
bar [A] moves towards the front to jog the copies stacked in the first bin.
Then it stops 15 mm away from the side edge of the paper.
Figure 2:
The bins move one step up to place the first bin at the stapling position.
Figure 3:
The grippers [B] move forward, and grip the copies.
Figure 4:
The grippers bring the copies up underneath the stapler. At the same time,
the jogger bar jogs the copies stacked in the second bin to prepare for the
next stapling operation. Then the jogger bar returns to the position 15 mm
away from the side edge of the paper.
