1.5 BASIC OPERATION

[C]

A593V501.img

After the copy is completed, the paper is directed to the finisher. If the
sort/stack mode is selected, the junction gate [A] directs the paper upwards
to transport it to the shift tray [B]. In these modes, the shift tray is shifted side
to side to stagger and separate sets of copies. The amount of shift is
approximately 30 mm.

When the staple mode is selected, the junction gate directs the paper below
to transport the paper to the jogger unit [C]. Each time a copy is delivered to
the jogger unit, the positioning roller [D], the alignment brush roller [E], and
the jogger fences [F] square the stack of copies. After the final copy of the set
is squared, the set is stapled, and then delivered to the shift tray.

(1) Staple Mode (2) Sort/Stack Mode

A593D500.img

Depending on the selected finishing mode, the copies are directed up or
down by the junction gate [A]. A two-way solenoid is used to control the
junction gate.

(1) When the exit sensor of the copier is activated while in staple mode, the
solenoid [B] pulls the plunger in the arrow [C] direction. The junction gate
directs the copies down to transport them to the jogger unit.

(2) When the exit sensor of the copier is activated while in the sort/stack
mode, the solenoid pushes the plunger in the arrow [D] direction.
The junction gate directs the copies up to deliver them to the shift tray.

The junction gate keeps its position until a different finishing mode is selected.

[A]

[J]

[C]

[I]

[G]

A593D501.img

The vertical position of the shift tray [A] is controlled by the shift tray lift motor
(dc motor) [B] through the gears and the timing belts [C]. When the main
switch is turned on, the tray position is initialized to the upper position. The
tray’s upper most position is detected when the shift tray pushes up the
actuator [D] to deactuate the stack height sensor 1 [E].

While copying, the actuator [D] is gradually raised as the copy stack grows. In
the sort/stack mode, when the stack height sensor 2 [F] remains actuated for
4 seconds, the shift tray lift motor [B] rotates, lowering the tray unit for 50 ms.

In staple mode, when the stack height sensor 1 remains deactuated for 4
seconds, the motor rotates lowering the tray until the sensor [E] is actuated.

When the tray reaches its lower limit position, the lower limit sensor [G] is
actuated by the actuator [H], and copy operation stops.

After the copy process is finished and the machine stops, the tray is raised to
its upper most position 4 seconds after the copies are removed.

A mechanical safety switch [I] is installed to prevent the drive gears from
being damaged if the sensor does not work. When the shift tray pushes up
the shift tray positioning roller [J], the shift tray lift motor stops.

[H]

A593D502.img

In the sort/stack mode, the shift tray [A] moves side to side to stagger and
separate sets of copies.

The horizontal position of the shift tray is controlled by the shift motor (dc
motor) [B] and the shift cam (helical cam) [C]. After one set of the original is
copied and delivered to the shift tray, the shift motor [B] starts rotating, driving
the shift cam through the timing belt. The pin [D] fixed to the shift tray base
plate [E] is positioned in the groove on the shift cam, creating the side to side
movement required to stagger copies.

When the shift cam rotates 180 degrees (The tray is fully shifted.), the plate
[F] on the shift cam pushes the actuator [G] of the shift tray half turn sensor
[H] and the shift motor stops. The next set of copies is then delivered. The
motor rotates repeating the same process and moving the tray back to the
previous position.

A593D503.img

In the staple mode, copies are vertically and horizontally aligned in the jogger
unit before being stapled.

For horizontal paper alignment, the jogger motor [A] moves both the front and
the rear jogger fences [B] to align the copies.

For vertical paper alignment, the positioning roller [C] and the alignment
brush roller [D] push the copy against the stack stopper [E].

After the trailing edge of the copy passes the jogger unit entrance sensor [F],
the positioning roller solenoid [G] is energized for 280 ms pushing the
positioning roller into contact with the paper. The positioning roller rotates to
push the paper back and align the trailing edge of the paper against the stack
stopper. Both the positioning roller and the alignment brush roller are driven
by the transport drive motor through the timing belt [H].
