Q5686A/Q5687A STACKER A. Stopper operation The booklet stopper and the flat-stapling stopper are interlocked by the link mechanism. When the booklet stopper goes down, the flat-stapling stopper is released. The stopper motor (M718) moves the booklet stopper, and its home position is detected by the stopper HP sensor (PS723). When the booklet stopper [1] is at the home position, the flat-stapling stopper [2] is set by the pressure of the spring [3]. In the staple mode (flat stapling), stapling is made in this condition. When the booklet stopper [1] goes down, the spring [4] in the link mechanism releases the flat-stapling stopper with paper arranged properly by the booklet stopper.
