2-1-1 Paper feeding system of duplexer The figure below shows the components in the duplexer and the paths through which the paper travels. The sensors, solenoid, motors etc., are described in the following pages. Printer Vertical path assembly Switchback Paper refeed section section Duplexer...
(1) Paper feed control of duplexer The following diagram shows interconnectivity of the feeding system components including the sensors and rollers. The duplexer board controls paper conveying operation in the duplexer. Upon reception of a control signal from the engine board of the printer, it drives the motors and the solenoid to operate the rollers and the guide.
(2) Paper feeding mechanism of duplexer Swichback section After printing onto the first face, the change guide of the printer switches the paper path to the face-up ejection side, to convey the paper into the duplexer. When the paper enters the duplexer, the switchback motor rotates forward to drive the vertical path roller and switchback roller, to convey the paper to the switchback section.
Page 34
Paper refeed section The paper refeed motor rotates conveying roller 1, conveying roller 2 and the duplex refeed roller, to convey the paper entering the paper refeed section back into the printer. During this operation, the paper refeed motor moves the side registration guide to the size of the paper by rotating in the reverse direction as support to the paper conveying operation.
