    TRAY SHIFTING Tray 2 (Lower Tray) B352D105.WMF In sort/stack mode, tray 2 [A] moves from side to side to separate the sets of prints. The shift mechanism for tray 2 is similar to that used for tray 1. However, when the tray 2 shift motor [B] turns on, the arm [D] moves the entire end fence [C] from side to side (not just the tray).

    TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISMS 4.5 TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISMS 4.5.1 TRAY 1 B352D204.WMF Introduction The tray 1 lift motor [A] controls the vertical position of tray 1 [B] through gears and timing belts [C]. Normal and sort/stack modes When the main switch is turned on, the tray is initialized at the upper position. To do this, the tray is moved up until upper stack height sensor 1 [D] is de-actuated.

  • Page 606: Staple Mode

    TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISMS Staple mode B352D204.WMF In staple mode, stapled stacks can be delivered to either tray, but they can only go to the lower exit. So, if tray 1 is selected, tray 1 [A] moves down to the lower paper exit.

  • Page 607: Tray 1 Release Mechanism

    TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISMS Tray 1 release mechanism When tray 1 is selected for staple mode, tray 1 must be moved down to the lower paper exit. However, to move past the sensors at the lower exit, the tray must be moved away from the finisher.
  • Page 608 TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISMS When tray 1 is at the lower exit, the tray lock solenoid [F] is on, and the lever [G] locks the tray. This prevents the user from moving the tray out of position (the first tray has some play when it is at the lower position).

  • Page 624: Pre-Stack Mechanism

    PRE-STACK MECHANISM 2.2 PRE-STACK MECHANISM This mechanism improves productivity in staple mode and shift mode. During stapling, the copier has to wait. This mechanism reduces the wait by holding the first two sheets of a job while the previous job is still being stapled. It only works during the second and subsequent sets of a multi-set copy job.

The two relay rollers are out of contact with each other before the paper comes.

  • Page 633: Positioning Roller Mechanism

    POSITIONING ROLLER MECHANISM 2.10 POSITIONING ROLLER MECHANISM D554.PCX D555.PCX The booklet transport motor also drives the positioning roller [A] to vertically align paper against the positioning plate [B]. The positioning roller is not round but elliptical in shape so that it moves away from the paper while the paper is being horizontally aligned.
