Tamper Motor
The Finisher PWB switches on the Tamper Motor when a paper set in the Compiler Tray is
ready to be sent to the Stapler. The Tamper is attached to the Tamper Drive Belt (Figure 1).
When the Tamper Motor is switched on, it pulses, which in turn taps the Tamper against the
side of the paper set. The Tamper Home Sensor monitors the position of the Tamper.
