12 February 1992 BASIC OPERATION
5.BASIC OPERATION
5.1CLEAR MODE
When the main switch of the copier is turned on, the sorter automatically assumes a clear mode condition. It also changes to a clear mode condition if the sort or stack mode is recalled or if the interrupt key is pressed. In a clear mode condition, all copies are stacked on the proof tray.
Sorter operation starts when a sheet of copy paper activates the copier exit sensor. At this time the roller drive motor energizes. The roller drive motor de-energizes when the paper exits the copier and the paper sensor is deactivated. The paper senso r signa l is sent to the copie r through an interface board to check for paper misfeed. The wheel drive motor does not turn on when in the clear mode.
5.2SORT MODE
After the sort mode is selected by pr e ssing the Sorter key, the wheel drive motor turns on to move the proof tray up. When the first sheet of paper activates the copier exit sensor, the roller drive motor turns on. Shortly after the paper sensor turns off (420 ms later), the wheel drive motor turns and advances the bins one step. When t he whee l senso r is acti vat ed , th e whe el drive motor turns off.
5.3STACK MODE
As in the sort mode, the roller drive motor turns on when the first sheet of paper actuates the copier exit sensor. All copies of the copy run are then fed to the first bin. When the final copy passes the paper sensor, the wheel drive motor turns on and advances the bins one step.
There are no limits on the number of copies that can be entered up to the full 999 copy limit of the copier. However, the physical capacity of the bins is a good deal less. (See "Bin Capacity" in the specifications.)
When all 20 bins have been used, the wheel drive motor turns on until all the bins have been lowered (including the proof tray).

BIN DRIVE MECHANISM 12 February 1992
7. BIN DRIVE MECHANISM
[A]

[B]
[F]
[E]
The bin drive mechanism moves the bins [A] up an d do wn to re ceive copie s under the direction of the copie r CPU. The ma in comp onents in this mechanism are the wheel drive motor [B], the two transfer wheels [C], the wheel sensor [D], and the bins themselves.
Pins on either side of each bin are inserted into slots in the sorter side frame. The pins slide up and down in these slots. The bins r est on ea ch ot her with the lower one resting on the lift bar [E ]. The spr ings [F], on either end of the lift bar, lift it up forcing the bin pins against the transfer wheels. Plastic spacers [G] on both ends of the bin keep the bins separated.
To move the bins up, the bin drive motor turns clockwise (as viewed from the front). A timing belt [H] turns the transfer wheels [I].

The transfer wheels have two slots in them 18 0 de gr e es ap ar t . As th e transfer wheels turn, these slots en gage the pins of the bins and lift them up. Each time the transfer wheels tu r n 18 0 de gr e es, the y ra ise on e bin .
The CPU counts the bins using the wheel sen sor . A cylindr ica l ac tu at or on the front transfer wheel turns the wheel sensor on and off. This actuator has two notches that are 180 de grees apart. The wheel sensor turns on each time one of the slots passes through the sensor.
To move the bins down, the CPU reverses the bin drive motor and the above process reverses.
The home position sensor [A] is locat ed at th e lowe r re ar en d of the sor te r . When all the bins are lowered, the lift bar [B] presses down on the actuator [C], actuating the sensor. The CPU checks the sensor whenever the power is turned on. At this time, if the bins are not in the home position, the home position sensor is deactuated the CPU will return the sorter bins to the home position.
The mounting position is about 18.5 degrees off between the front tran sfe r wheel [D], and the rear transfer wheel [E]. Therefore, the front and rear of the bins do not rise simultaneously thus avoiding unusual noises and also reducing load.

BINS 12 February 1992
8. BINS
[A]
[B]
The proof tray and the twenty bins are all basically the same. Formed out of thin flexible steel plate, they ha ve spa cer s on the left end to hold them apart and pins at the front and rear of the right end, which are inserted in guide slots in the sorter frame.
On the right edge, the bins have stoppers [A] which prevent copies from sliding back into the sorter after they have been fed out. The pattern of these stoppers is different for even and odd numbered bins.
Three leaf springs [B] on the underside of each bin hold the copies flat in the underlying bin.

12 February 1992 EXIT ROLLERS
9. EXIT ROLLERS
[A]
The exit roller shaft is hollow and is mounted on the transfer wheel shaft [A] (coaxial). When the copy actuates the copier’s exit sensor, the CPU sends a signal to the sorter to turn on the roller drive motor. The roller drive motor turns off at the same time as the copier main motor.
