MODULES, SENSORS, and DIVERTERS
Each BIN is identified with a number and a customer-written label naming the modality assigned to it.
Assignment of BINS is done through the DISPLAY SCREEN on the Kodak Ektascan 2180 LASER
PRINTER. Any modality can be assigned to one or more BINS to provide an overflow capability. In
this case, the destination BIN is switched every 50 sheets regardless of the number of sheets remaining
in the BIN. Bins can also be assigned more than one modality in order to accommodate more than
9 sources.
Sheets of film enter the horizontal film path of the SORTER as they exit the PROCESSOR. A drive
transport ROLLER is located in the middle of this film path to handle the smaller film sizes that would
not reach the last BIN while the processor ROLLERS was still advancing them. A DIVERTER is
below each BIN to direct the sheets into the BIN. At rest, the DIVERTER acts as part of the UPPER
FILM GUIDE. When a SOLENOID pivots the DIVERTER down, the DIVERTER blocks the film
path and guides the leading edge of a film up toward the BIN
