Sort - Gestetner B147 Service Manual

3.4.2 SORT

The finisher can sort and stack the paper. To do this, it uses the stack tray and the
regular tray.
Phase 1: The exit roller transports the
paper on the stack tray [A]. The front
fence motor or the rear fence motor drives
the jogger fence [B] to push the paper to
the front or rear. The jogger fence handles
the next paper in the same way, and
pushes the paper in the same direction.
For the jogger fence mechanism, see
section 3.4.4.
Phase 2: When the number of papers on
the stack tray reaches one of the following
numbers, the stack-tray upper roller, the
stack-tray lower roller, and the stack-tray
belts (! 3.4.1) transport the paper stack
[C] to the regular tray.
Paper Size
300 mm and longer
Shorter than 300 mm
Phase 3: The finisher repeats Phase 1
and Phase 2 until it finishers handling the
first set of paper.
Phase 4: For the next set, the finisher
conducts phases 1 through 3 again. This
time, the other jogger fence pushes the
paper in the opposite direction in phase 1.
Every time phase 3 ends, the finisher stacks one set of paper on the regular tray.
The diagram shows the paper stack [D] on the regular tray after the finisher stacks
four sets of paper. The arrow [E] indicates the direction of paper travel.
