Copier Main Board (PCB1) |

The copier main board provides +24 volts (VA) and +5 volts (VC) to the sorter main board. +24 volts powers the roller drive motor, and +5 volts powers all sensors and switches. Also, +24 volts is changed to +12 volts by the regulator IC, which powers the bin drive motor.
The copier main board controls the drive and checks the status of the sorter via the sorter main board. The copier main board sends the scan signals to the data selected IC on the sorter main board. After receiving the scan signals, the data select IC outputs the status of the sensor and switches as the scan output signal.
The copier main board also sends the sorter drive signal to the drive IC on the sorter main board. After receiving the drive signal, the drive IC turns on the appropriate motors.

BASIC OPERATION |
5. BASIC OPERATION
– Clear Mode –
When the main switch of the copier is turned on, the sorter automatically assumes the clear mode. In this mode, all copies are stacked on the first bin.
The sorter also assumes the clear mode when either the interrupt mode or the manual feed mode is selected.
Sorter operation begins when a copy actuates the copier exit sensor. At this time, the roller drive motor energizes. When the paper exits onto the sorter bin, the paper sensor is de-activated and the roller drive motor is then de-energized. The copier main board monitors the paper sensor through the sorter main board to check for paper misfeeds.
– Sort Mode –
Pressing the Sorter key once shifts the copier to the 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 the bottom. The copies of the third original start from the top and so on. The bin drive motor turns on to advance the bin one step, 250 milliseconds after the copy has gone through the paper sensor. If the Copy
Quantity, Clear/Stop, Book Copy, or Sorter key is pressed during the sort mode, all bins shift to the home position.
– Stack Mode –
Pressing the Sorter key twice shifts the copier to the stack mode. In this mode, all copies of the first original are delivered to the first bin, all copies of the second original are delivered to the second bin, and so on. The bin drive motor turns on to advance the bin one step, 250 milliseconds after the last copy of the original has gone through the paper sensor. If the Sorter key is pressed during stack mode, all bins shift to home position.
