20-bin staple sorter (AR-SS2)

There are two sorter modes for different copying jobs: one sorts
copies into sets matching the sequence of the originals and the
second groups copies from different originals into separate sort bins.
The AR-SS2  20-Bin Staple Sorter has, in addition to the above two
modes, a STAPLE SORT mode. Sorted copies can be automatically
stapled together.
The maximum allowable number of copies varies with the selected
mode.
The number of copies will be automatically reset to the maximum
number allowable for the selected mode when copying begins if this
maximum is exceeded.

  CAUTION

●

Do not put pressure on the sorter or subject it to undue force.

Do not place your  hands on the sorter during copying because the sorter moves up and down.

When none of the three sorter modes, SORT, STAPLE SORT or
GROUP is selected, the copier is in the NON-SORT mode. In this
mode, all copies will be deposited in the top bin of the sorter.
Be sure to use the NON-SORT mode when copying onto special
papers such as transparency film or label stock.

SORT is used for automatic copy collating. Copies of each original
will be sequentially deposited in the sort bins.

In this mode, copies will be automatically sorted and finished sets of
copies can be stapled with the manual staple key.
When used in conjunction with an optional RADF, sorted copies will
be automatically stapled.

In the GROUP mode, all copies of the same original will be
deposited in the same bin.

To cancel the mode, press the OUTPUT key and select “NON
SORT” on the touch panel.

●

When colour copying is performed, much toner may be put on copy paper depending on the image. In this case,
the copies may be curled, resulting in improper stapling or improperly aligned copies.

●

If the specified number of copies is more than the maximum number of copies that can be set, the copy quantity
display will change to the corresponding number in the above table in the SORT, STAPLE SORT, or GROUP
mode after copying starts.

●

When making single-sided copies from two-sided originals, the maximum number of originals that can be copied
is half the number shown in the above table.

●

Do not use special paper in the SORT, STAPLE SORT, or GROUP mode.

The limits for the number of originals which can be used and the number of copies that can be set for each
paper size are as follows:

Top bin
100 sheets in the NON-SORT mode
(60 sheets for 216mm x 330 mm, B4, A3, and A3W
(8-1/2" x 13", 8-1/2" x 14", 11" x 17", and 12" x 18" ))

B4 or A3 (8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17") paper, the copies will not be
stapled.

Make sure that there is no paper in any sort bin before selecting
the STAPLE SORT mode.

●

Up to 20 sets can be made.

●

Each set of copies will be stapled.
