2.1.9 ORIGINAL INVERSION AND FEED-OUT MECHANISM

General Operation
[A]
A806D110.WMF
When the scanner reaches the return position, the copier's CPU sends the feed-out
signal to the DF. When the DF receives the feed-out signal, the transport belt motor
and feed-out motor [A] turn on. The original is then fed out to the exit tray or fed
back to the exposure glass after reversing in the inverter section.
This DF has two exit trays. For single-sided original mode, the original is fed out to
the right exit tray and for double-sided original mode, the original is fed out to the
upper exit tray.
This causes the originals to be fed out in the correct order on the exit trays and
allow the best one-to-one copy speed for each mode. The user can change the exit
tray to the upper exit tray for single-sided mode (for example, if there is not enough
space in the room for the right exit tray to be installed). However, one-to-one copy
speed for this mode is reduced.
