7. JOGGER SECTION
When the Start key is pressed in the sort, stack, or staple mode, the copier
sends the paper size information to the sorter stapler. When a copy enters
the sorter stapler entrance, the jogger bar [A] stays at the home position
which is detected by the jogger home position sensor [B].
At the appropriate time (depending on the selected paper size) after the
trailing edge of the copy is detected by the bin exit sensor, the jogger motor
[C] (a stepper motor) rotates forward and in reverse to move the jogger bar
via the upper and lower jogger drive belts [D and E]. As the copy is fed out
into the bin at the center, the jogger bar moves the copy all the way to the
front, and pushes the paper side edge by 5 mm (0.2") against the front side
plate [F]. Then the jogger bar moves back to the position which matches the
paper width. Shortly after that, the jogger bar returns to its home position.
This jogger bar movement is performed for each copy to square the copy
stack.
In the automatic or manual staple modes, the jogger bar also moves to
ensure that the stacked copies are squared before stapling. For how the
jogger moves, see "Basic Operation - Staple Mode".
