4. Offset Jogging (non stapling)
a. Sort
In sort mode, the stack of sheets on the intermediary processing tray is moved so that it is put
into order, called "offset operation."
The distance of offset is 20 mm.
The direction of offset (front/rear) of each set is the opposite of the direction of offset used for
the immediately preceding job. If it was offset to the front, the present job will be offset to the rear
and vice versa.
When the paper size is communicated by the copier, the finisher controller PCB drives both the
front and the rear jogging plates at the same time, thereby moving them to a specific point; i.e.,
width of paper placed in the middle of the stack tray + 10 mm on both sides (Figure 2-415a).
Sheets are put into order by driving either the front or the rear jogging plate. When they are put
into order against the front, the rear jogging plate is moved to the edge of the stack; when sheets are
put into order against the rear, the front jogging plate is moved to the edge of the stack.
If the paper is A4 or A3, however, the home position of the front jogging plate (if jogging is
against the front) or of the rear jogging plate (if jogging is against the rear) will serve as the point of
reference for offset operation. The jogging plate used (the rear jogging plate if jogging is against
the front, or the front jogging plate if jogging is against the rear) is kept in wait at the home position.
The jogging plate is moved to the edge of the stack from its home position for jogging
operation (Figure 2-415b).
If the number of sheets (copies or originals) is more than the maximum number of sheets the
intermediary processing tray is designed to hold, as many sheets as allowed are delivered as a stack
once; thereafter, the subsequent sheets are put into order in the same direction.
