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 con-
verted into a roller, thereby prolonging its life.
To Disengage
Place thumb on rear of Pusher Arm (g, Fig. 4).
Pull back on the lip on Locking Lever (h, Figs. 4
& 5).
To Re-Engage
Place index finger on front edge of Pusher Arm
(g, Fig. 4). Push Locking Lever (h, Figs. 4 & 5)
against Rubber Roller thereby locking in a sta-
tionary position.
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 crisscross-
ing positions.
Maintenance
Model 6120 has been engineered to provide trou-
ble-free use with minimal maintenance. If prob-
lems do occur, please contact your nearest
authorized service representative or contact
Martin Yale directly.
Operating
Instructions

is a lightweight, easy to use collator that pro-
vides all the advantages of high speed pro-
fessional collating in a compact, attractive
unit that’s equally at home in a general office
area, a copy/duplicating center, a print shop
or a school.
The Model 6120 offers a capacity of 12 bins,
which are arranged in two side-by-side tiers
of six bins each. The Model 6120 is a desk
-
top collator that permits the collating of multi-
page reports, bulletins, contracts, newslet
-
ters 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.

REAR VIEW
(f) PUSHERS
What you see in the rear view photo (Fig. 4) are
the Pusher assemblies. An actual Pusher ele-
ment 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 simul-
taneously forward, pow-
ered by an internal glider
assembly (see Fig. 4)
connected to the motor.
(h) LOCKING LEVERS (Shown in both the
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.
OPERATION
How To Load
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.
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).
How To Collate
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 oper
-
ator.
7.
Remove sheets with both hands, using a
sweeping motion from the bottom side
upward (see Fig. 6).
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.
8. Stack collated sheets
crosswise. For greater
convenience, you may
wish to consider using
the Optional V-Tray
(see Fig. 7).
9. Turn power switch to center OFF
position when not in use.
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.
FEATURES
FRONT VIEW
(a) BIN RACK
There are two side-by-side tiers of six bins each.
Load copies to be collated, the first page into a-
1 (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.
(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.
(c) LOADING LEVER
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 posi-
tion by releasing the Loading Lever.
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.
(d) RELEASE BUTTONS
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.
(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 oper-
ate 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.
