20-BIN SORTER
OPERATION MANUAL
MAIN FEATURES OF THE AR-S11
Sort bins
Copies are delivered to
these bins.
Sorter release button (See page 6)
If a misfeed occurs in the 20-bin sorter,
press this button to open the space
between the sorter and the machine.
The 20-bin sorter allows you to sort copies into collated sets (sort mode), or group them by original page.
When installed on an AR-C260 Series machine, sets of up to 20 full-colour copies can be made in sort mode.
PART NAMES
CAUTIONS
● Do not put pressure on the sorter or subject it to undue force (particularly the sort bins).
● Do not place your hands on the sorter during copying because the sorter moves up and down.
NOTES
● To install the 20-bin sorter, a duplex bypass/inverter unit and either a stand/1 x 500 sheet paper drawer, a stand/
3 x 500 sheet paper drawer, or a duplex module/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer must also be installed.
● In printer mode, output is only possible to the top bin.

NOTES
● When copying in COVERS mode, take care that the number of copies in one set, including covers, does not
exceed the maximum number of sheets that can be held in one bin as indicated above.
● Copying normally stops when the number of sheets in each bin reaches the limit. This can be disabled with the
"OVERRIDE SORTER BIN CAPACITY LIMIT" key operator program (page 7), allowing copying to continue
even if the limit is exceeded. Note, however, that this may result in misfeeds or copies overflowing from the bin.
● If the [INTERRUPT] key is touched during copying in sort mode or group mode (one-sided copying only), the
mode will automatically switch to non-sort mode. The mode will switch back to the previous mode when the
[INTERRUPT] key is touched once again to exit the interrupt state. (Interrupt is not possible during automatic
two-sided copying (one-sided to two-sided or two-sided to two-sided)).
● When colour copying is performed, much toner may be put on copy paper depending on the image. In this case,
the copies may be curled.
METHODS OF SORTING COPIES
The 20-bin sorter has the following three modes.
● In the diagrams, 5 copies each are made of originals 1, 2, and 3 in each of the modes.
■■■■ Sort mode
One set of copies is sorted into each bin.
■■■■ Group mode
One set of copies grouped by original page is delivered
to each bin. The copies are output face down.
Original
5 sets of copies
(The copies are output face down in each bin.)
Original
5 copies per page
(The copies are output face down in each bin.)
■■■■ Non sort mode
All copies are delivered to the top bin (unsorted).
Plain paper and Heavy Paper 1 (paper weight: 106 to 200 g/m
paper types are output face up.
NOTE
Output to the 20-bin sorter in sort mode and group mode is only possible when the machine is in Copy mode.
2
or 28+ to 54 lbs.) are output face down. All other

NOTES
●●●● Maximum number of original pages
This is the maximum number of original pages that can be copied at once in sort mode or group mode.
In sort mode: The limit is the same as the maximum number of sheets that can be held in one bin. (See *1 in
the "SORTER CAPACITY" table on page 3.)
In group mode: Up to 20 sheets (the same as the number of bins in the sorter).
●●●● Maximum number of copies that can be set
The maximum number of copies that can be set in sort mode and group mode is as follows:
In sort mode: Up to 20 copies (the same as the number of bins in the sorter)
In group mode:
● When "Transparency film with insert sheets" or "A3 (11" x 17") Full-bleed" is selected (these are special
functions), the copies are output in non-sort mode. Sort and group modes cannot be selected.
● To cancel a copy run, press the [CLEAR] key. Copying will stop and the number in the copy quantity display will
be reset to 0.

FOR KEY OPERATORS
The following key operator programs can be used when the optional 20-bin sorter is installed.
To enter the key operator programs, see "Using the key operator programs" on page 3 of the Key Operator's Guide.
■■■■ Additional programs
All of the additional programs are enabled by touching the checkbox ( ) to make a checkmark appear ( ).
(See "Supplementary explanation of key operation for key operator programs" on page 3 of the Key operator's
guide.)
DISABLING OF SORTER
This program is used to disable use of the 20-bin sorter when it malfunctions.
When disabled, copies cannot be output to the 20-bin sorter.
This program can be selected in the Device control category of general key operator programs. (See page 9 of
the Key operator's guide.)
OVERRIDE SORTER BIN CAPACITY LIMIT
When the 20-bin sorter is installed and copying is performed in sort mode or group mode, copying normally stops
automatically if the capacity limit of each bin is reached.
This program allows you to override the capacity limit and allow copying to continue. Caution should be exercised
when enabling this program, as misfeeds, a machine failure, or copies overflowing from bins may result.
This program can be selected in the Copy settings (Other function settings) category of programs for copy mode.
(See page 13 of the Key operator's guide.)
