4. Delivery Tray Operation
A. Outline
The machine has a delivery tray in the finisher unit and a bind tray
in the saddle unit.
The bind tray in the saddle unit is of the fixed type and all the folded
paper stacks are delivered to this tray. This tray has a bind tray
sensor (FFED) to detect presence/absence of paper.
The delivery tray in the finisher unit is moved up and down using a
lift motor (FLM).
The finisher has a tray paper sensor (FBED) to detect presence/
absence of paper on the stack tray.
The home position sensor of the delivery tray is detected by the
paper surface sensor (FSLD). When paper has already been
stacked on the delivery tray, the home position is on the top surface
of the stacked paper. When paper has not yet been stacked on the
delivery tray, the home position is at the position where the edge of
the delivery tray is detected. At power-on, the finisher controller
PCB drives the lift motor (FLM) to return the delivery tray to the
home position.
When the paper coming from the processing tray is stacked on the
delivery tray, the lift motor (FLM) is driven a specified number of
pulses, causing the delivery tray to descend. Clock pulses are
detected by the lift lock sensor (FLE). Then, the delivery tray
returns to the home position for the next stacking operation.
The upper limit of the delivery tray is detected by the lift upper limit
sensor (FULD). When the lift upper limit sensor (FULD) is turned
ON, the finisher controller PCB stops the lift motor (FLM) that is
ascending.
The lower limit of the delivery tray is detected by the lift lower limit
sensor (FLLD). When the lift lower limit sensor (FLLD) is turned
ON, the finisher controller PCB stops the lift motor (FLM) that is
descending.
The finisher unit has a tray middle sensor (FMLD) to detect over-
stacking of large-size or mixed paper according to the stack height.

5. Saddle Unit
A. Basic Operations
(1) Outline
The machine stitches a stack of sheets (middle 2-point), then folds
the stack in two in the finisher. These operations are controlled by
the finisher controller PCB.
The finisher controller PCB is controlled by the commands from the
host machine.

B. Feed/Drive System
(1) Outline
This machine stitches the paper stack coming from the finisher,
folds it, and delivers it to the bind tray in the saddle unit in response
to the commands from the host machine.
That is, the machine performs the following operations:
a. Paper feed-in
b. Stitching
c. Stack feed
d. Folding/delivery

That is, the machine performs the following operations:
a. Paper feed-in
b. Stitching
c. Stack feed
d. Folding/delivery
a. Paper feed-in
After being aligned on the processing tray, a stack of sheets is
sandwiched between the stack delivery rollers. As the stack deliv-
ery rollers rotate, the stack is fed toward the saddle unit.
