BASIC OPERATION 12 February 1992
2. BASIC OPERATION
2.1 CLEAR MODE
When the main switch of the copier is turned on, the sorter automatically
assumes the clear mode. It also changes to the clear mode if the sort or
stack mode is recalled or if the interrupt key is pressed. In the clear mode, all
copies are stacked on the proof tray.
Sorter operation starts when a sheet of copy paper actuates the copier exit
sensor. Simultaneously, the roller drive motor and relay drive motor energize.
The motors de-energ ize when the paper exits the copier an d th e paper
sensor is deactuated. The pape r senso r signa l goe s t hro ug h th e sor ter main
board to the copier. The wheel drive motor does not turn on when in the clear
mode.
2.2 SORT 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 paper exit sensor, the roller drive motor turns on. Shortly after
the paper sensor turns off, the whee l dr ive motor turns and advances the bins
one step. When the wheel sensor activates, the wheel drive motor turns off.
2.3 STACK 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 limitations 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 the bins have been used, the wheel drive motor turns on and lowers
all the bins (including the proof tray). Simult an eo usly, the Max indicator blinks.

2.4 EXAMPLE OF SORT MODE OPERATION
"3" copies entered and the Start key pressed 3 times.
In the illustrations the following call-outs are used:
A: Helical Wheel
B: Proof Tray
C: Paper
D: Paper Sensor
E: Bin
- Start Key ON -
1) After the sort key is pressed, the wheel drive motor turns on. The helical
wheel [A] moves the proof tray [B] up. The first copy paper [C] is directed
to the first bin.

BASIC OPERATION 12 February 1992
3) The third copy feeds to the third bin. The bin drive motor does not turn on
after the paper sensor turns off. (The sorter will stay at this position until
auto-reset or until copying resumes.)
- Start Key ON -
4) The first copy goes to the third bin. After the paper sensor [D] turns off,
the bin drive motor turns on and the helical wheel [A] moves the second
bin [E] down.
5) The same as #4.
