Staple-mode feed and delivery
In this mode, 2 to 15 pages of media are stapled into one set and the stacks are then delivered to the
delivery bin.
After the leading edge of the media reaches the fuser-delivery sensor (PS108) in the printer, the dc
controller PCA sends a signal to the stapler/stacker-driver PCA. The stapler/stacker-driver PCA
activates the deflector solenoid (SL101) for a specific amount of time to move the delivery deflector
into place, which routes the media to the stapler/stacker rather than to the top output bin.
The stapler/stacker-driver PCA activates the paddle motor (M1101) to rotate (counterclockwise) the
upper and lower delivery rollers to disengage them. It also activates the stacker motor (which rotates
at the same speed as the printer main motor) to rotate the feed and delivery rollers.

The jogger guide motor (M1101) moves the jogger guides to the waiting position, and the stapler/
stacker-driver PCA again activates the paddle motor (M1101) counterclockwise to engage the upper
and lower delivery rollers.
