4. SORTER MG-1003
This is a 10 bin sorter without stapler, but it is also the most reliable one. Basically sorters
don't need so much technical attention, during exploitation. Their mechanical parts are made tough
and hardly ever break if the module is used normally.
There are two defects that you may encounter servicing the sorter. In order to correctly
understand their description and solution it is useful to know the construction of such unit.
Bin Up/Down Moving Mechanism:
Since this sorter is of a bin moving type, a bin designated moves to the paper transport
position and copy sheets exit into the designated bin. The drive force of the bin moving motor is
transmitted through a timing belt and gears to the spiral cam 1. At the same time, it is also
transmitted through a drive shaft to the spiral cam 2. The bins are moved up or down by changing
the rotation direction of the motor. The bins are stopped at the preset position by one-rotation
detection sensor tab attached to the spiral cam 2.
