4. TURN GATE SECTION
The turn gate directs copies to the proof tray or to the bins depending on the
mode selected.
In the normal mode, the turn gate solenoid [A] turns on together with the
roller drive motor when the copier signals the S/S CPU to start the motor.
The turn gate [B] rotates clockwise to direct copies upward [C] through the
vertical transport section to the proof tray. The turn gate solenoid stays on
during the copy cycles, and turns off when the proof tray exit sensor detects
the trailing edge of the last copy and the S/S CPU receives the signal from
the copier to stop the motor.
In the sort, stack, or staple mode, the turn gate solenoid stays off to keep the
turn gate up so that copies are directed downward [D] to the bin transport
section.
The solenoid lever [E] is bent at a right angle to ensure that the lever moves
only if the solenoid switches from on to off, or from off to on.
