The position is detected by the shift HP sensor
The shift motor starts after the trailing edge of each sheet passes the upper
transport roller.
The shift roller moves the sheet to one side while it is fed out.
All sheets of the same set are moved across to the same side, one at a time.
Then, for the next set, the shift roller moves in the opposite direction.
The shift roller goes back to home position after it feeds out each page.
Home position is in the middle.
The gear mechanism is explained in detail in the service manual.
