As shown, the input is from lines 1 and 41 of a Model 2400 or 3600 Xerox copier, but it will be appreciated that other copies or an independent power source could be employed. An auxiliary paper feeder having three feed trays is described.
  • relays K7, K8 and K9 With the main on" so that an appropriate energizing potential is applied across lines 1 and 41, and the feed station selector switches are at zero as indicated, relays K7, K8 and K9 will be energized. Under these conditions relay contact sets K7-A and K7-C, K8-A and K8-C and K9-A will be closed, while normally closed contact sets K7-B, K8-B and K943 are opened. Closing of contact sets K7-A, K8-A and K9-A causes relay K5 to be energized. Further, with potential across lines 1 and 41, v DC is provided to the clutch circuit through the conventional diode bridge, but the clutches remain disengaged since step switches l, 2 and 3 are open.
  • the operator starts by selecting the desired number of copies of each characteristic by appropriately setting dial station switches 1 and/or 2 and/or 3. Presuming sheets are desired from all three stations, this causes relay K7, K8 and K9 to de-energize, and opens the circuit to relay K5 by opening contact sets K'I-A, K8-A and K9-A.
  • the motor operates the vertical transport means and, through the stepping coils, the paper feed rolls, and has cam switches lLS and 2LS mounted adjacent the shaft thereof. A cam on the shaft closes switch lLS when the motor is energized. Closing switch lLS energizes relay K6, which is maintained in the on condition through holding contacts K6-A, and relay contacts K6-B are also closed, which further prepares the stepping coil circuit for operation.
  • cam switch 2LS When cam switch 2LS is closed by the cam, it energizes stepping coil 1 through normally closed contact set K7-B, which in turn closes stepping switch 1. This energizes clutch station 1, which feeds the paper and causes dial station switch 1 to step toward zero for each sheet of paper fed. Stepping coils 2 and 3 remain disabled due to contact sets K7-C and K8-C being open.
  • the first sheet of paper fed into the processor closes the sheet sensor switch (316 in FIG. 9) and this switch remains closed until the sheet disengages the switch.
  • the function of the sheet sensor switch is to retain the motor in an energized condition until the last sheet is fed and received in the processor, as more fully described below.
  • relay K7 When the desired number of copies have been fed from station 1 and the select dial reaches its zero position, relay K7 is energized. This causes normally closed contact set K7-B to open, thereby disabling step coil and step switch 1, while contact set K7-C closes, to enable step coil 2 through normally closed contact set K8-B. Contact set K7-A is also closed to partially prepare the shut-down circuit for subsequent operation. Energizing step coil 2 closes step switch 2, engaging clutch station 2, and paper is thereby fed from station 2 in the same manner as described above for station 1.
  • relay K8 When the desired number of copies have been fed from station 2 and the select dial reaches its zero position, relay K8 is energized. This causes normally closed contact set K8-B to open, thereby disabling step coil 2 and step switch 2, while contact set K8-C closes, to enable step coil 3 through nonnally closed contact set K9-B. Contact set K8-A is also closed, further preparing the shut down circuit for subsequent operation. Energizing step coil 3. closes step switch 3, engaging clutch station 3, and paper is thereby fed from station 3 in the same manner as described above.
  • relay K9 When the desired number of copies have been fed from station 3 (the last station in this embodiment) and the select dial reaches its zero position relay K9 is energized. This causes normally closed contact set K9-B to open, thereby disabling step coil 3 and step switch 3. Contact set K9-A is also closed and this activates the shut down circuits by energizing relay K (contact sets K7-A and K8-A having previously closed as-described above). Energizing relay K5 closes contact set KS-A, to energize time delay relay TD. The time delay provided by relay TD is a sufficient period for a sheet from the lowest tray to reach the sheet sensor switch, generally a few seconds. At the end of the delay period, the time delay contacts TD close, energizing relay K2.
