4) The tray lift motor rotates, and the tray moves to suit the height of the stack. The appropriate
height in relation to the existing stack is checked by the height sensor (PS1).

Buffer Path Operation
1.
Outline
This machine is provided with a buffer paper path for continuously receiving paper from the host
machine during stapling and job offset operation on the stapling tray. A maximum of three copies
(three originals or more in the staple mode) are wrapped around the buffer roller. During this time, job
offset and stapling are performed on the stapling tray.
(three originals or more in the staple mode) are wrapped around the buffer roller. During this time, job
offset and stapling are performed on the stapling tray.
The following shows operation on the buffer paper path.
1) When the first sheet arrives, the buffer inlet solenoid (SL2) remains off. The first sheet enters the
buffer path.

2) When the leading edge of the sheet has moved past the buffer path inlet paper sensor (PI17), the
buffer outlet solenoid (SL3) turns on so as to cause the sheet to wrap around the buffer roller.

3) When the leading edge of the sheet has moved past the buffer path paper sensor (PI14), the buffer
roller stops and waits for the second sheet.

4) When the second sheet arrives and its leading edge reaches the inlet sensor (PI1), the buffer roller
starts to operate once again.
