BOOKLET STAPLING (B700 ONLY)

The jogger fences remain 1 mm away from the sides of the stack. The feed out belt
[1] raises the stack until the top of the stack is 10 mm past the leading edge
pressure roller [2] and stops. The leading edge pressure roller descends and
applies pressure to the top of the stack. The stack junction gate [3] (normally open)
closes. The pressure roller [4] and pressure plate [5] retract.
5
The feed out belt [6], transport rollers [7], [8], and clamp rollers [9] rotate and feed
the stack past the closed stack junction, over the top and down toward the bottom
fence [10]. At the same time, the fold unit bottom fence descends from its home
position and stops 10 mm below the fold position.
6
The rollers feed the leading edge of the stack to within 3 mm of the stack stopper of
the bottom fence [13]. The fold unit entrance sensor [11] detects the stack and
opens the clamp rollers [12]. The stack drops 3 mm onto the fold unit bottom fence
[13]. At this time, the first sheet [14] of the next stack feeds to the stapling tray.
