ABSTRACT:
A copy system includes a duplicator and a sorter which has a plurality of multi-bin towers.
Duplicator and sorter controls are provided for controlling the duplicator and tower transport devices and bin deflectors in the collated simplex mode. The size of each segment of an entered job is computed by the duplicator control as a function of available sorting means resources.
The duplicator control detects a single tower loading or multiple tower loading selection for limitless mode operation, and shuts down the duplicator and sorter after the completion of each job segment in the multiple tower loading mode, or after the completion of each job segment in the single tower loading mode if an empty tower is unavailable. The duplicator control restarts the duplicator and sorter in the single tower loading mode when an empty tower becomes available with the next segment size set to the number of bins in the empty tower and the destination of copies in the next job segment set to the empty tower, or in the multiple tower loading mode when the number of towers required for the next job segment are emptied and available with the start destination of copies in the next job segment set to the next previous start tower.
