Staple-free Binding Operation

■ Outline
Staple-free binding includes an operation that binds the specified number of sheets (5 sheets max.) using the staple-free binding
unit. The binding position is one location on the rear side.
In staple-free binding mode, the paper stack center-aligned by the processing tray is shifted to the staple-free binding position
by the alignment plate. The staple-free binding unit is driven by the staple-free binding motor (M116) to bind the paper stack.
The rotation status of the staple-free binding motor (M116) is detected by the staple-free binding motor clock sensor (PS130).
The binding unit's home position is detected by the staple-free binding HP sensor (PS129).
