Trim mode The booklet conveyed to the trimmer section is then conveyed to the press section thought the gap between the upper and lower knives (trimmer section) because the upper knife is in the upper position.
The stopper provided in the press section normally stands upright. It moves to the standby position specified for each paper size during the initial process performed at the beginning of stapling and folding copy operation. When the specified time lapsed after the PS101 (entrance) is turned ON by the conveyed booklet, the stopper initiates a fine adjustment movement according to the number of booklet sheets and stops there. The folding edge of the booklet conveyed from the trimmer section is pressed against the stopper, then it stops when the specified time lapses after the PS102 (conveyance) is turned ON.
Thus, the length in booklet feed direction(from the folding edge to the trim edge) is determined.
