When Collating Fewer Than 12 Pages Whenever you have empty bins during collating, you can disengage the Locking Levers (h, Figs. 4 & 5). By doing so, the pusher cylinder is converted into a roller, thereby prolonging its life.
OPTIONAL: How to Use the V-Tray as a Holder Martin Yale offers a V-Tray which may be used to facilitate stacking of collated sheets in crisscrossing positions.
To Disengage
Maintenance
Place thumb on rear of Pusher Arm (g, Fig. 4). Pull back on the lip on Locking Lever (h, Figs. 4 & 5).
Model 6120 has been engineered to provide trouble-free use with minimal maintenance. If problems do occur, please contact your nearest authorized service representative or contact Martin Yale directly.

Revised 4/02
The Model 6120 offers a capacity of 12 bins,
d which are arranged in two side-by-side tiers of six bins each. The Model 6120 is a desktop collator that permits the collating of multipage reports, bulletins, contracts, newsletters and the like at the rate of 21 complete 12-page sets per minute. The Martin Yale Electric Collator can operate automatically at one set speed, (21 cycles per minute), feeding one set of copies every three seconds. Or, the operator can run the machine in a self-paced mode by the use of a Foot Pedal.
PAPER QUALITY The Model 6120 is designed for use with 13 lb.110 lb. non-coated bond. This Model is not designed to feed carbonless paper or high gloss paper.
PAPER SIZE Model 6120 is designed to accept paper sizes of 8 1/2” by 11” to 8 1/2” by 14” (legal size).
CAPACITY The Model 6120 will process over 15,000 sheets per hour - or 1,250 sets of 12.
(c) LOADING LEVER
REAR VIEW
If you look into the bins you will see that each bin has a pusher (See f, Fig 4). Each pusher advances a single sheet with each cycle of the machine. However, when it is time to load the bins with fresh sheets, these pushers must be raised out of the way. This is done by using the Loading Lever (Fig. 1). When the Loading Lever is pushed down, it raises the pushers, clearing the bins for loading. When loading is completed and you wish to resume collating, the pushers must be lowered to their normal operating position by releasing the Loading Lever.
FEATURES
NOTE: the Loading Lever can only be released (i.e., raised) by squeezing the Release Buttons on the underside (d, Fig. 1 & Fig. 2) of the Lever.
FRONT VIEW
(d) RELEASE BUTTONS
(a) BIN RACK There are two side-by-side tiers of six bins each. Load copies to be collated, the first page into a1 (Fig. 1), the second into a-2 (Fig. 1) and so forth. Note that the bins are canted downward to the rear to prevent random spillage. Each bin has a capacity of 175 sheet of 16 lb. bond.
The purpose of the Release Buttons (Fig. 1 & Fig. 2) is to release the Loading Lever. Do not force the Loading Lever upward without first squeezing the Release Buttons as damage might result.
c
(b) POWER SWITCH This switch (Fig. 1) may be operated in two modes: 1. AUTOMATIC. Depressing the top part of the switch puts the Model 6120 on automatic, feeding 21 cycles per minute. 2. FOOT PEDAL. Depressing the bottom part of the switch puts the machine in the Foot Pedal mode. The machine will not operate until the Foot Pedal is touched. To turn the machine off, return the power switch to the center OFF position. NOTE: The Foot Pedal position indicator lights up whenever the Foot Pedal mode is used; as does the automatic indicator when it is used. When finished with machine or collating, return the switch to the OFF position.
4. Release the Loading Lever (c, Fig. 1). Do this by squeezing the two Release Buttons on both sides of the lever (d, Fig.2).

(f) PUSHERS What you see in the rear view photo (Fig. 4) are the Pusher assemblies. An actual Pusher element is shown more clearly in the photo below. Note that the Pusher is held in a rigid position by the Locking Lever (h, Fig. 5). As the 12 Pusher arms (g, Fig. 4) move forward in their bins, the Pushers move forward with them. The Pushers cannot roll over the sheets; they have been designed to apply exactly enough weight and traction to push out one and only one sheet at a time.
(g) PUSHER ARMS All 12 arms move simultaneously forward, powered by an internal glider assembly (see Fig. 4) connected to the motor.

OPERATION How To Load
NOTE: Retraction Feature. Model 6120 has been designed to insure that while sheets will be pushed far enough out of their bins to make it easy for the operator to gather them up, the Pushers will not permit them to fall out of the machine; instead it will retract missed sheets back into their bins. This additional safeguard makes this collator very easy to operate. If you are not able to gather copies in one pass, the machine will simply draw them back into the bins and push them out again three seconds later.
1. Turn the power switch (b, Fig. 1) to the OFF position. (NOTE: This is the center position. The light should be off.) 2. Push the Loading Lever (c, Fig. 1) down. This raises the Pushers (f, Fig. 4) clearing the bins for loading. 3. Load each bin with its proper set of page copies. Make sure each page is facing in the correct direction.
8. Stack collated sheets crosswise. For greater convenience, you may wish to consider using the Optional V-Tray (see Fig. 7). Figure 7 9. Turn power switch to center OFF position when not in use.

(e) FOOT PEDAL Depressing the Foot Pedal (Fig. 3) permits you to operate the Electric Collator in a non-automatic mode. Though the Foot Pedal mode can operate the machine up to 21 cycles per minute, (the same speed as automatic), it is designed for those occasions when you prefer to control your own pace.
5. Turn the machine on by depressing the power switch, (up for Automatic mode or down for Foot Pedal mode), whichever is desired. 6. If the Collator is being operated in the Automatic mode, it will begin feeding up to 21 sets per minute. This gives you sufficient time to gather up copies and begin stacking. In the Foot Pedal mode, this pace is set by the operator. 7. Remove sheets with both hands, using a sweeping motion from the bottom side upward (see Fig. 6).
Rear View photo, Fig. 4, and in Fig. 5.) These levers hold the pushers in a non-rolling position to enable them to push copy sheets forward and out of their bins.
