2.2 BASIC OPERATION
2.2.1 PAPER PATH
The unit is mounted on top the finisher and connected to the finisher by a 14-pin
connector. When the leading edge of the paper passes and activates the entrance
sensor of the finisher, the mailbox main motor switches on and the mailbox vertical
transport rollers [A] begin to turn. The exit roller [B] feeds the paper out to the
selected tray [C].
A solenoid [D] opens and closes the junction gate [E]. When a solenoid switches
on, the gate opens and directs to the paper to the tray.
NOTE: When the top tray (bin 9) is selected, all solenoids are off and closed,
allowing the paper to pass to the top tray (bin 9 does not require a
solenoid).
When the last sheet is fed out, it switches off the vertical transport sensor, and both
the mailbox main motor and the junction gate solenoid of the selected bin switch
off. The mailbox normally feeds paper at 372 mm/s, about the same speed as the
finisher. (The finisher speed is 370 mm/s.)
