Stapler eject with alternating offset and position controlled grip

摘要

A stapler apparatus includes a clamp positioned to receive and stack sheets from a printing device, a support plate comprising a groove directing the clamp along one path of multiple paths, the multiple paths alternately directing the clamp relatively closer to one of multiple staplers. A first biasing member applies a first force to the clamp toward a closed position, and a first extension applies a second force to the clamp toward an open position. A second biasing member applies a third force to the clamp toward the open position.
