Toshiba E-STUDIO900 manual Booklet Finishing, Booklet Stapling and Folding

6.5.11 BOOKLET FINISHING

OVERVIEW

Stapling: Two booklet staplers are used. These are about half way up the stack fed-out path The stack feed-out belt moves the stack to the correct position for stapling.

Folding: This is done in two phases: initial folding and final folding.

•Initial folding: At the top of the stack feed-out belt, a plate pushes the centre of the copy (at the stapled place) through a pair of rollers to give the booklet an initial fold. However, this fold is only a partial fold.

•Final folding: The partially folded copy drops to the lower tray, where it is caught by a pressure plate mechanism, which completes the fold in the booklet before letting it drop onto the lower tray.

[A]

The sheets are aligned by the jogger fences before stapling. ( 3.5)

The aligned sheets are sent to the booklet stapler unit and positioned below the booklet staplers [A] for stapling at two locations in the center of the paper.

The stack feed-out belt lifts the booklet until two pawls on the folder plate mechanism (see the next page) catch the staples to position the booklet for folding.
