-Interrupt Mode-
If the Interrupt key is depressed during a multicopy run, the sorter continues to place copies in
the correct bins until that copy run is finished. Which bin the copies go to depends on the
mode: sort, stack, or clear.
Then, the operator depresses the Start key to make interrupt copies. As each of the interrupt
copies enters the sorter, the sorter CPU energizes the interrupt solenoid [A] and the copies
are directed to the interrupt bin.
When the interrupt mode is canceled, the previous settings and modes are returned to resume
the previous copy run that was interrupted.
-Sorter Misfeed-
The sorter CPU starts the misfeed timing count when the inlet sensor turns on. If the copy is
not fed into the bin within a specified period (different for each bin) the sorter CPU will send a
misfeed signal to the copier. The copier will then light the Sorter Misfeed indicator and stop
operation. (Any copies in the paper path at the time will be finished first.)
The sorter CPU directs any copies that are being processed in the copier at the time of a
sorter misfeed to the interrupt bin. It also corrects the copier's Quantity Completed counter so
that it displays only the number of copies actually in the top 15 bins. After removing the misfed
paper, the misfeed condition is automatically cleared when the sorter cover is opened and
closed.
