1.5 BASIC OPERATION
Copies exiting the copier enter the sorter or the by-pass tray [A] depending
on the by-pass tray gate [B] position. In normal operation, copies are sent to
the sorter, if paper jams occur in the sorter, the remaining papers in the
copier are fed to the by-pass tray.
If sort/stack mode is not selected, copies are delivered to the proof tray [C]
through the diagonal transport unit [D], the horizontal transport unit [E], and
the distribution unit [F].
When sort/stack mode is selected, copies are delivered to the bins [G] in
order.
The copies in the bins are arranged by the jogger arm [H].
If staple mode is selected, when the last page of the original is delivered to
the 1st bin, the staple unit [I] starts stapling the copies in each bin.
The 1st sorter has capacity to hold 20 sorted copies.
If the 2nd sorter is installed next to the 1st sorter, an additional 20 sorted
copies can be sorted.
After the 20th copy is fed to the distribution unit of the 1st sorter, the relay
gate [J] moves to the upper position and the 21st copy is transported to the
2nd sorter. After the final copy of the designated number has passed under
the relay gate, the relay gate moves down to transport copies to the bins of
the 1st sorter again.
