8.2.6.2 Mechanical Drive

Mechanical Drive is a term that is used to describe both the rotation of the Sorter Drive Motor and the
action of the gear, belt, pulleys, and rollers that are used to transmit motor rotation to the ten Sorter Rolls
within the Mailbox. The purpose of Mechanical Drive within the Mailbox is to provide the mechanical
energy needed to drive a sheet from the printer paper exit and into a Mailbox bin.
The Sorter Control PWB controls the Sorter Motor. The Motor rotates the Drive Gear. The Drive Belt
wraps around the Drive Gear and the ten Drive Pulleys. Six Tension Rollers along the path press the
Drive Belt against the Drive Pulleys. When the Sorter Control PWB switches on the Sorter Motor, the
Motor rotates the Drive Gear, the Drive Gear drives the Belt which in turn rotates the ten Drive Pulleys.
The ten Drive Pulleys rotate the ten Sorter Exit Rolls.
