2.8 1ST AND 2ND SORTER CONNECTION

 

When the 2nd sorter is connected, paper must be relayed from the 1st sorter
to the 2nd sorter. A relay solenoid [A] has been added to the 1st sorter for
this purpose.

A relay unit is also added to the 1st sorter to transport paper to the 2nd sorter.

The relay unit is driven by the 2nd sorter main motor [B].

The relay sensor [C] detects paper jams at the relay unit.
The relay unit cover [D] is provided to enable removal of misfed papers.
The photosensor [E] detects if the cover [D] is open.
