11. The stapler/stacker driver changes the speed of the feed motor (M1303). ● If it is not the last sheet of paper, the driver drives the feed motor at the printer speed. ● If it is the last sheet of paper, the driver stops the feed motor. 12. The stapler/stacker driver drives the motors to perform the alignment operation. ● Horizontal alignment: Drives M1302 and performs the jogger operation. ● Vertical alignment: Drives M1301 and performs the paddle operation. Through these alignments, the paper is correctly positioned on the jogger tray.
