6.8 DUPLEX UNIT

6.8.1 IMPORTANT COMPONENT

The following components play
important roles in duplex printing:
• The duplex motor drives the exit
roller [A] and duplex roller [D].
• One of the paper guides on the
fusing unit [C] is linked to the paper
path sensor [B].
NOTE: You cannot use the by-pass
tray for duplex printing.

6.8.2 DUPLEX PRINTING PROCESS

The copier processes duplex printing as follows:
1. The controller starts to operate the main
motor and duplex motor.
2. The hot roller [A] and pressure roller [B]
transport the paper to the paper guide [C].
3. The leading edge of the paper pushes the
paper guide; the paper guide turns the
paper path sensor [D] on.
4. When the leading edge of the paper reaches
the exit roller [E], the exit roller transports
the paper.
