Staple mode/stack align mode
Staple mode aligns, staples the paper stack and then delivers it to the output bin.
Stack align mode aligns the paper stack and delivers the paper to the output bin without stapling. The
operation of the stack align mode is the same as the staple mode except for the stapling operation.
The operational sequence of the staple mode is as follows:
1. After receiving the command from the DC controller, the stapler/stacker controller turns on the
flapper solenoid to move the output flapper in the product and delivers the paper to the stapler/
stacker. At the same time, the stapler/stacker controller drives the alignment-alienation motor to
separate the output upper roller from the output lower roller. Accordingly, the output bin media full
sensor flag moves up and the jogger operation is available.

2. After receiving the command from the formatter, the stapler/stacker controller drives the feed
motor to rotate the feed roller and the output lower roller.
