the drawings.

9.5.1 OCT Unit

9.5.1.1 Function

• OCT Motor Assembly Drive:
The OCT Motor Assembly drives the Middle Roll Assembly and the Offset Roll
Assembly.
• Offset Motor Assembly:
The Offset Motor Assembly shifts the Offset Roll Assembly to produce an offset of about
28 mm.
• Stack Full Sensor and Stack Full Sensor Actuator:
The Stack Full Sensor and the Stack Full Sensor Actuator detect when printed sheets
accumulate in the Tray beyond the capacity (500 sheets).
• OCT PWB Assembly:
The OCT PWB Assembly controls the operation.
• Offset Roll Assembly:
The Offset Roll Assembly ejects printed sheets into the Exit Tray. During the Offset
operation, it ejects printed sheets at the offset-position displaced 28 mm from the
normal position.
• Exit Sensor:
The Exit Sensor is located between the Middle Roll Assembly and the Offset Roll
Assembly; it detects printed sheets.
• Home Sensor:
The Home Sensor is operated On and Off by the Cam Gear; it detects when the Offset
Roll Assembly is at the home position.
• Solenoid and Solenoid Lever:
The Solenoid and Solenoid Lever switches the paper path between the Printer Engine
and the OCT Unit. When the solenoid is actuated, the Solenoid Lever is pushed to
move the Exit Gate of the Printer Engine. The paper path is then switched from the Exit
Tray of the Printer Engine to the OCT.
