Abstract
To enable running in a multiple document load mode, an interface procedure is used to specify more than one bin in a 'bins for each set' selection and the desired bin capacity is set in the Bin Capacity selection. From 1 to 6 bins per set may be selected. The operator selects the copy quantity, places the first set of originals in the document handler and presses start print. During this job segment, if the number of copies delivered is equal to the bin capacity, then the sorters will automatically increment to the next bin. Incrementing to the next bin is only dependent on reaching bin capacity and is not related to the loads in the document handler. When copying of the first set of originals is complete, the screen reads: 'LOAD MORE ORIGINALS AND PRESS START PRINT OR PRESS END JOB IF JOB DONE'. The operator then loads the next set of originals and presses start print. This sequence continues until the last sets of originals is completed, the operator then presses 'END JOB'. The job is now complete with each output set occupying a group of consecutive bins. The number of bins per group is determined by the value set in 'bins for each set'.
