Stapler-unit operation
The stapler unit uses the stapler unit motor (M104), staple cam, staple-press head-plates, staple
arm, and support base to staple media together. Use the printer settings to turn on the staple mode
(see
Stapler/stacker submenu). The stapling procedure begins when media enters the staple guide
and the dc controller PCA sends the end-of-job signal to the stapler/stacker-driver PCA.

After the paddle and jogger guides align the edges of the media, the stapler/stacker PCA activates
the stapler unit motor (M104). The two staple cams begin to rotate.
