AR-350/450 BASIC PAPER TRANSPORT PATH AND PAPER EXIT 3-4

This machine allows selection of variable forms of finishing by installing

an option. 

1) The joggers F/R are moved to the standby position before paper

entry into the alignment tray, and paper is passed to the alignment

tray.

2) When paper is passed into the alignment tray, the stopper solenoid is

turned on to receive paper.

3) After paper entry into the alignment tray, the joggers are moved to

the suitable positions according to the paper size, and paper is

offset.

4) The stopper solenoid is turned off and the pressure release (roller)

solenoid is turned on to discharge paper to the tray 2.

1) Before paper entry into the alignment tray, the joggers F/R are

moved to the standby position, and paper is entered into the

alignment tray.

2) When paper enters the alignment tray, the stopper solenoid is turned

on to receive paper.

3) After paper entry into the alignment tray, the joggers F/R are moved

to the paper size positions to align paper.

4) The paper holder solenoid is turned on at the same time with (3) to

hold the rear edge of entered paper, and the pusher is moved to the

paper size position.

5) After completion of moving the pusher, the paper holder solenoid is

turned off.

1) The stapler is moved from the staple replacement position to the

slidable position.

2) The stapler is shifted to the stapling position.

3) The stapler is rotated to the stapling position.

Put paper to be stapled in the staple tray.

4) Paper is stapled.

5) The stapler is rotated to the standby position.

When in one-position stapling, a bundle of paper is discharged to the

tray 2 (paper exit section), and the procedure goes to (10)

6) The stapler is shifted to the second stapling position.
7) The stapler is rotated to the stapling position.

8) Paper is stapled. (Second stapling)

9) The stapler is rotated to the standby position.

The bundle of paper is discharged to the tray 2 (paper exit section)

10) After completion of a job, the stapler is shifted to the staple

replacement position.

11) The stapler is rotated to the staple replacement position.

For one-position stapling, however, procedures (6) - (10) are not

performed.

1) The joggers F/R are moved to the paper exit position.

2) The stopper solenoid is turned off.

3) The pressure release solenoid is turned on to shift the pusher to the

paper exit position, and the paper bundle is discharged to the tray 2

paper exit section.

4) The pressure release solenoid is turned off and the pusher is

returned to the home position.

The orientation of the copy paper, original, scanned original data, and
binding position selection are all interrelated. The

table below shows these relationships.

Note: Stapling can only be done when the offset tray has been selected.

Note: If mixed paper sizes are selected for stapling jobs, stapling will be

automatically canceled.

Note: Transparency film, labels , envelopes and postcards cannot be

stapled.

The machine performs the following in response to the commands

coming from its host machine on the sheets arriving from the host
machine for delivery: simple stacking, job offset, and stapling or folding

(in two).

If a punch unit (option) is installed, the sheets are pouched and delivered
to the delivery tray.

Sheets may be delivered in either of five ways (including one for the

puncher unit):

The machine pulls in the sheet once to the processing tray and then

delivers it to the delivery tray.

The machine pulls the sheet once to the processing tray. It then moves
the sheet to the front or the rear using the aligning plate. When it has

deposited a specific number of sheets, it delivers them in the form of a

aligning plane.  When the number of sheets stacked on the processing
tray reaches a specified value, the sheets are delivered in a form of a

stack.  Even if the specified value is not reached, stacked sheets are

temporarily delivered when 10 sheets of large-size paper (300 mm or
longer) or 30 sheets of small-size paper (299 mm or shorter) have been

stacked.  (5- and STMT-sizes: 10 sheets)

The machine stacks sheets coming from its host machine on the

processing tray.  When the number of sheets stacked on the processing

tray reaches a specified value, the finisher staples them delivers the
stapled stack to the delivery tray.

The machine deposits a stack of sheets on the processing tray, staples it
(middle 2-point), and then moves it to the saddle unit. The saddle unit

folds the stack in two, and delivers it to the bind tray.
