Sort / Stop
If the printing system requires sort codes sent over the sort relay
connector, a sort relay cable must be connected between the external
device or an I/O box and the SORT / STOP connector on the printer back
panel. Either of the following types of cable can be used:
•
Cable, relay contacts:
The standard CABLE, RELAY CONTACTS (0178910) is 30.0 ft (9.14
m). This cable is part of FRU 0178938 which includes this procedure
as instruction 0178939.
•
Custom:
A customer-supplied cable can be used for specialized applications.
A custom cable can have wires only for the connector pins being
used.
The following procedure describes how to connect the standard cable.
For custom cable specifications, or additional information regarding the
use of sort codes, contact technical support.
Use the following procedure to connect the relay contacts cable to the
SORT / STOP connector:
1. Select which side (half) of the split cable to use depending on type of
contacts on the external device (see Table 3.2).
