(4) The tamper (rear) home position is detected when the sensor detecting plate
attached to the tamper support blocks the light from the tamper home position
sensor on the bottom frame of the sorter. A signal according to the copy size is
output from the control panel and the tamper drive motor rotates appropriately
to the start position for the selected copy size.
(5)When paper is detected by the paper exit sensor in the copier, the tamper
motor rotates and positions the tamper at a prescribed distance (depending on
paper size) from the selected copy size edge so the copy can be received
easily into the bin. After receiving a copy, the tamper moves to the preset copy
size position to tap it into place, then the tamper moves out to the start position
and waits for the next copy.
