HP — [6] Booklet Ejection

Q3224A 1 OUTLINE a. Trim mode When the stopper is released, the pusher plate moves backward to the turnout position to open the booklet ejection path. While the pusher plate is at the turnout position, the trimmed booklet is held stacked upright between the holder plate and the exit tray. When the booklet ejection path is made with backward movement of the pusher plate and re- lease of the press and stopper, the booklet conveyance is re-started again. When the booklet comes out of the vertical con- veyance roller, the holder plate moves down and the pusher plate moves forward.

When the booklet is detected in the entrance con- veyance section, the pusher plate moves back to the turnout position to open the booklet ejec- tion path. The succeeding operation is the same as in the trim mode.

In the through mode, booklet con- veyance does not stop temporarily because nei- ther the press operation nor trimming operation is not performed in this mode. 1 - 8
