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.
6.5.12 BOOKLET STAPLING AND FOLDING
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.
