After hanging the ribs of the front and rear covers on the frames,
attach the front and rear cabinets using a screw (M4 x 10) respec-
tively.
At this time, paste the connection harness to the rear cabinet as
shown in the illustration.

< 1 > Raise the paper holder lever, insert the two pawls on the rear

side of the offset tray unit to the mounting positions, and fix the
tray using the two screws (M4 x 10).

< 2 > Insert the bosses of the escape exit tray into the mounting holes

shown in the illustration and attach the tray.

[CAUTION]

When attaching the offset tray, make sure that part of the roller shaft
of the offset tray is not on the offset tray.

Remove protective paper from the cartridge.
Open the staple cover, insert the staple cartridge to the staple unit
until it clicks, and then close the staple cover.

Paste the staple position label to the document feeder.

Make three copies in the staple sort mode.
Check to see if stapling has been performed properly.

Deliver two copies to the top tray.

If this equipment is installed together with a printer expansion kit or a
facsimile expansion kit, check the appendix of each operation manual
(key operator programs and index list output and setting).

Deliver three sets from two originals to the offset tray.
Check to see if copies have been offset stacked properly.

Installation of staple sorter is now complete.

Name

Function

1

Paper entry sensor

Detects paper transported from the machine. 

2

Transport roller fin

Transports paper in combination with No. 8 roller.

3

Paper entry follower roller (Kick-out
sponge) 

Transports paper in combination with No. 2 roller.

4

Transport switch gate right

Selects between the escape transport (non-staple mode) and the alignment tray transport (staple
mode).
When selecting the alignment transport (staple mode),  this gate drops the rear edge of paper.

5

Side guide plate

Aligns paper vertically to the paper transport direction.

6

Upper alignment hold plate

Knocks paper when paper (5th page or later) comes on the alignment tray removing air or adjusting
curls. 

7

Rear edge plate

Aligns paper in the paper transport direction.

8

PS upper roller (Common part)

Transports paper in combination with No. 2,  19,  20 rollers.

9

Paper empty sensor (1A71A)

Detects paper empty on the alignment tray.

10

Shutter

Serves as the paper lead edge reference for alignment of paper,  and opens to allow a bundle of
paper to be transported to the paper exit port after stapling.

11

Transport switch gate left

Selects between the escape tray transport and the offset tray transport.  

12

PS upper roller (Common part)

Detects paper transport to the escape tray.

15

Transports paper in combination with No. 16 roller.

16

Escape paper exit roller

Transports paper in combination with No. 15 roller. 

17

Paper exit roller upper

Transports paper in combination with No. 18 roller. This roller  normally follows No. 18 roller. When
discharging a stapled bundle of paper,  the electromagnetic clutch turns on to make this roller a drive
roller. The bundle of paper is bent by the difference between this roller speed and the No. 18 roller
speed so that it is not caught by the preceding bundle staple.

18

Paper exit roller lower

Transports (discharges) paper in combination with No. 17 roller.

19

Transport drive roller fin
