3.10 SHIFT TRAY SIDE-TO-SIDE MOVEMENT
In 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 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 shaft [D]. The end fence [E]
is positioned by the shaft, creating the side-to-side movement.
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.
The disk is rotated alternately clockwise and counter-clockwise through an arc of
180 degrees.
The notches cut into the shift gear disk control the operation of the shift motor,
using shift tray half-turn sensors [F] and [G].
If the job ends with the disk at  with only one sensor deactivated, the motor
rotates the disk to the  position where both sensors are deactivated. This is the
home position.
