7. BIN DRIVE MECHANISM

[G]
[A]
[F]
The bin drive mechanism moves the bins [A] up and down to receive copies
under the direction of the copier CPU. The main components in this
mechanism are the wheel drive motor [B], the two transfer wheels [C], the
wheel sensor [D], and the bins themselves.
Pins on either side of each bin slide up and down in slots in the sorter side
frame. The bins rest on each other with the bottom one resting on the lift bar
[E]. The springs [F] on either end of the lift bar lift it up, forcing the bin pins
against the transfer wheels. Plastic spacers [G] on both ends of each bin
keep the bins separated.
To move the bins up, the wheel drive motor turns clockwise (as viewed from
the front). A timing belt [H] turns the transfer wheels [I].
