• A sheet of media of less than 11 inches is stacked in the stacker
media bin with the Staple Mode changed.
• An operator put a sheet (or sheets) when no media is remaining in the stacker media bin.
(The size and condition of media stacked in the tray are not identified.)
• Media was present in the stacker media bin when power was turned on.
(The size and condition of media stacked in the tray are not identified.)
• The finisher entered the Sleep Mode with mix stacking and then has exited the Sleep Mode.
• The post-processing mode has changed.
Functions of stacker media bin sensors/motors
• Sensor (stacker bin level 1)
– A light emitter and photo-receiver paired together to detect the height of media in the stacker media bin.
– This sensor is used to control the elevator motor.
– When blocked by media or the tray, this sensor turns high, deciding that the stacker media bin is above
the reference level.
– To the contrary, when receiving light, this sensor turns low, deciding that the stacker media bin is below
the reference level.
– The high to low turning point of the sensor is defined as the reference level.
• Sensor (stacker bin level 2)
– A light emitter and photo-receiver paired together to detect the height of media in the stacker media bin
(same function as sensor (stacker bin level 1)).
– This sensor is also used to control the elevator motor.
– When blocked by media or the tray, this sensor turns high, deciding that the stacker media bin is above
the reference level.
– To the contrary, when receiving light, this sensor turns low, deciding that the stacker media bin is below
the reference level.
• Sensor (stacker bin no media)
– A photo-interrupter sensor that detects that the stacker media bin is at the highest position; it also
detects no media.
– When the actuator attached to the carriage assembly right enters the sensing area, the emitted light is
blocked, which turns the sensor to high (+5 V).
• Sensor (stacker bin upper limit)
– A photo-interrupter sensor that detects the stacker media bin’s abnormal elevation above the top position
(sensor (stacker bin no media) position).
– When the actuator attached to the carriage assembly right enters the sensing area, the emitted light is
blocked, which turns the sensor to high (+5 V).
• Sensor (stacker bin level encoder)
– A photo-interrupter sensor that counts the pulse of the Encoder attached to the Shaft-Elevator.
– The media volume in the stacker media bin is detected based on this count.
• Stacker bin lift motor
– A DC motor that elevates or lowers the stacker media bin.
– Clockwise rotation elevates the tray, and counterclockwise rotation lowers the tray.
• Media eject motor assembly
– A stepper motor that ejects stapled or non-stapled media to the stacker media bin.
– Clockwise rotation ejects media to the stacker media bin, and counterclockwise rotation reverses the
eject roll to feed the media from the punch to the compiler unit assembly.
