Job offset
Job offset is accomplished by moving sheet by sheet forward or backward for sorting while
transporting it to the stacker bin. The offset motor is connected to a crank system that moves
offset carriage to the left and to the right. The offset position sensor detects the position of the
offset module to position it left, right, or center. The offset exit sensor detects when the sheet has
left the accumulator assembly and is correctly delivered to the output tray.
Note The offset specification is 20 mm (0.79 inch) between sets of sheets (10 mm, or 0.39 inch, per side).
