Principles of Operation
Offsetting Catch Tray (OCT)
The OCT is an optional device, attached to the right hand side of the IME. The output is
stacked in 1 to N order, face down or face up in the tray. The user can select to have alternate
sets offset to provide set differentiation, including single-sheet sets.
A sensor detects when the tray has reached 90% of its full capacity.
The offset function is controlled on the OCT PWB, initiated by a motor enable signal from the
media path driver PWB.
The OCT is controlled from the media path driver PWB. The tray capacity is as follows:
The OCT tray capacity is as follows:
• 500 sheets, A4 80gsm / Letter 75gsm flat output
• 300 sheets, A4 80gsm / Letter 75gsm with 12 mm curl
Up to 50% reduction in capacity will occur for other sizes, weights and environments. With
sheets larger than A3 60gsm, there may be a greater reduction in capacity.
Low Capacity Stapler Stacker (LCSS)
Overview
The LCSS provides two selectable destinations bins, a 250 sheet capacity top tray (80 gsm /
20 lb.) and a high capacity 2000 sheet stacker tray (80 gsm / 20 lb.). When the top tray is
selected the output will be stacked in an un-tamped manner. When the high capacity stacker
tray is selected the output will be complied and tamped.
The user may choose from the following finishing options when output is directed to the stacker
tray.
• Offsetting of sets (25 mm) to create a visible set boundary stacking feature.
• Hole punching of sheets 2, 3 or 4 hole, Swedish 4 and Legal 2 hole configuration.
• Automatic stapling of up to 50 sheets (80gsm) sets, with the user able to select one of the
following three positions dependant upon paper size and feed direction:
– Single front
– Single rear
– Dual
Configuration
The LCSS is configured with two output bins: bin 0 and bin 1. The LCSS will carry up to 50
sheets in collating or collating and stapling mode.
Machine Interface
The LCSS receives and sends serial input and output data to and from the IME.
The machine interface comprises of the LCSS PWB, the communication cable, a bulkhead
connector, a harness and the IME PWB.
The communication cable is the electrical connection between the IME and the LCSS PWB.
Communications between the IME PWB and the LCSS PWB are provided by the communica-
tion cable. If any communications data lines become open circuit or short circuit, a communica-
tion s fault is declared by the IME.
Power / Interlock
The LCSS requires a dedicated power cord which is connected to the self adjusting LCSS
power supply module located inside the LCSS. The power supply module will accept 90 to 265
volts AC at 50 or 60Hz.
Interlock switches in the LCSS int24V power when the front door interlock, docking
interlock or top tray jam access cover are opened for jam clearance or service.
Entrance Paper Path
The entrance paper path is located in the middle left side of the LCSS. It receives printed
sheets from the host machine and moves them into the diverter gate and through the hole
punch unit and into the stacker tray.
