Bin Home Position
Switch

This reversible dc motor moves the bins up
or down.

Detects the rotation of the transfer wheel
and stops it in the correct position.

This reed switch becomes activated when
the sorter is in the proper position (aligned
next to the copier). It also works as a jam
reset switch for the sorter.

Informs the CPU that all the bins are
lowered.

Serves as the misfeed sensor for the sorter
and also sets exit roller and bin drive timing.

Serves as the communication board
between the copier main board and the
sorter.

BASIC OPERATION 13th January 1995

4. BASIC OPERATION

- Clear Mode -

When the main switch of the copier is turned on, the sorter automatically
assumes clear mode. In this mode, all copie s are stacked in the first bin. The
sorter also assumes clear mode when int errupt mode is selected.

Sorter operation beg ins when the copier sends th e pape r f ee d sign al to the
selected paper feed statio n. At th is time, the roller drive motor energize s.
When the paper exits onto the sorter bin, the paper sen sor is d e-a ctiva te d
and the roller drive motor is then de-en erg ized. The copier main board
monitors the paper sensor through the sorter main board to che ck for pa per
misfeeds.

- Sort Mode -

In this mode, all copies of the first original are delivered to separate bins
starting from the top . The copies of the second original are delivered to the
same bins, but starting from th e bottom. The copies of the third origin al sta rt
from the top and so on. At 250 milliseconds after th e cop y has go ne thro ug h
the paper sensor, the bin drive motor turns on to advan ce th e bin one st ep.

- Stack Mode -

In this mode, all copies of the first original are delivered to the first bin, all
copies of the second origina l a re de livere d to the secon d bin, and so on. At
250 milliseconds after the last copy of the origin al ha s gone th rou gh the
paper sensor, the bin drive motor turns on to advan ce th e bin one step .

The exit rollers [A] take over paper tran sport from the copier. When the cop ier
sends the paper feed sign al to the selected paper feed station, the exit rollers
start rotating. The exit rolle rs cont inu e to rota te for 250 milliseco nd s aft er th e
copy paper has gone throu gh the pap er sensor [B].

10-bin Sorter

The roller drive motor [C] rotates the lower exit roller via the roller drive belt
[D]. The shaft of the lower exit roller is a cylindrical cavity type which rotates
around the transfer wheel shaft [E]. The pap er sensor is positioned just in
front of the exit rollers. The paper senso r det ects misfeeds in the sorter.
