2.2 PRE-STACK MECHANISM
This mechanism improves productivity in staple mode and shift mode.
During stapling, the copier has to wait. This mechanism reduces the wait by
holding the first two sheets of a job while the previous job is still being stapled. It
only works during the second and subsequent sets of a multi-set copy job.

In sort and stack mode, only the 1st sheet of copy paper from the 2nd set is shifted
to the front to separate each set of copies.
When the copy paper comes into the staple tray [A], the upper exit guide [B] (whi ch
contains the upper exit roller) opens. The paper switches back to the stopper [C].
Then the front guide release solenoid [D] turns on and the front guide [E] is
released, the shift motor moves jogger fence [F] to the front, and the copy paper
shifts to the front by 30 mm.

After copy paper has been shifted, the upper exit guide closes and the lower exit
roller [G] turns in the opposite direction to feed out the copy paper.

When the tr ailing edge of the 1st copy paper passes the 2nd tran sport roller [A],
the lower exit roller [B] stops and turns reverse. At the same time, the upper guide
plate motor turns on and opens the upper exit guide [C]. The copy paper is sent to
the stopper [D] by the lower exit roller and feed belt [E], and it is aligned the by
jogger motor.
The feed belt solenoid [F] turns on to move the feed belt to the stopper. This
function prevents excessive buckling of the paper between belt and stopper.
The paddles [G] send the paper to the stopper starting from the 2nd copy paper.
When the trailing edge of the 2nd copy paper passes the 2nd transport roller, the
paddle solenoid [H] turns on and the drive from the transport roller transmits to the
paddle shaft.

Front and Rear Stapling
When the print key is pressed, the

stapler unit moves to the front (or rear)
stapling position when the copy paper
comes into the finisher and stays until
the copy job finishes. It returns to home
position when the job is finished.
Tow-position Stapling
When the print key is pressed, the
stapler unit moves to the center. The
stapler unit moves to the rear stapling
position first and moves to the front
stapling position when stapling. Then it
goes back to the center until the copy
job finishes. It returns to home position
when the job is finished.

roller on the staple hammer moves on the cam [D] . When the guide roller moves to
the highest position on the cam, the copy paper is stapled.
The stapler unit contains the cartridge set switch [E], staple end switch [F] and
staple position sensor [G].
The staple position sensor detects whether the staple sheet has come to the staple

The finisher board detects the direction of the motor rotation and motor position
using the lift motor sensors 1 [D] and 2 [E].
The lift motor contains a thermoswitch [F]. When it detects 73.5º C, the finisher
board stops the lift motor until its temperature reaches approximately 40º C.
The shutter position switch [G] cuts the lift motor power for safety when the upper
exit guide plate opens.
The shift tray height sensor [H] detects the distance between the sensor and the

There are two junction gates [A] and three paper sensors [B] at the entrance area
of the booklet unit.
Depending on paper size, the appropriate gate solenoid(s) [C] are energized to
close the gate(s) in order to transport paper to the positioning plate [D] through a
suitable paper path.
This is done for the following reasons:
• To detect the trailing ed ge of paper with the correct sensor.
• To prevent the leading edge of the next sheet from hitting the trailing edge of the
previous sheets on the positioning plate.
