2.7 SHIFT TRAY SIDE-TO-SIDE MECHANISM
In the sort/stack mode, the shift tray [A] moves from side to side to separate the
sets of copies.
The horizontal position of the shift tray is controlled by the shift motor [B] and the
shift gear disk [C]. After one set of copies is made and delivered to the shift tray,
the shift motor turns on, driving the shift gear disk and the link [D]. The end fence
[E] is positioned by the link, creating the side-to-side movement.
When the shift gear disk has rotated 180 degrees (when the shift tray is fully shifted
across), the cut-out in the shift gear disk turns on the shift tray half-turn sensor [F]
and the shift motor stops. The next set of copies is then delivered. The motor turns
on, repeating the same process and moving the tray back to the previous position.
