ABSTRACT:
A multi-function peripheral includes a main body and a stapler module for stapling papers. The stapler module includes a fixed structure disposed in the main body, a motor fixed to the fixed structure, a driving set, two staplers, and two anvils fixed to the fixed structure. The driving set includes a transmitting structure coupled to the motor and two connecting parts coupled to two ends of the transmitting structure, respectively. The staplers connect the connecting parts, respectively. The motor drives the connecting parts to move toward or away from the anvils through the transmitting structure and, therefore, a first distance or a second distance is between the staplers and the anvils. When the first distance is between the staplers and the anvils, the staplers staple the papers. When the second distance is between the staplers and the anvils, a paper feeding path is defined between the staplers and the anvils.
