The Finisher Paper Path
The Finisher Paper Path is the physical route that paper takes through the Finisher, from leav-
ing the IOT to arriving at the Finisher Bin, the Simple Catch Tray, or a bin in the Sorter/Mailbox
(Figu
re 1).
There are two major diversion points for paper traveling t
hrough t
he subsystem. The first is the
Finisher Gate. At this gate, the paper can be directed toward the Finisher, or the Sorter/Mail-
box. The second gate is the Mailbox Gate, where paper that has been directed to the Sorter/
Mailbox can be sent
either
to the Simple Catch Tray, or to the Sorter/Mailbox bins.
