Abstract
A powered stapler includes a housing and a stapling engine within the housing. The stapling engine includes a staple driving assembly and a rotational drive train operable to actuate the staple driving assembly. A stack height compensation mechanism is integrated with the rotational drive train of the stapling engine and is distinct from any portion of the housing. The stack height compensation mechanism is operable to enable the stapling engine to compensate for varying stack heights of sheets to be stapled by the powered stapler.
