3.2 STAPLE MODE
The stapler is only available in sort mode.
When the jogger plate has squared the final set of copies, the grip arms [A]
move inside the front side frame and catch the paper. The grip assembly
brings the copies into the stapler [B], and the stapler staples the copies.
After stapling, the grip assembly [C] brings the stapled copies back to the bin
and releases the copies. Then the grip assembly goes back to the normal
position. The bin either advances or descends one step depending on
whether the number of originals is odd or even [D].
When the final set of copies has been stapled, the bins go back to the
standby position.
