21-1. Exit Position Shifting Mechanism
• Paper is fed into the Shifting Unit along a straight path or shifted from the reference
straight path position. This exit position shifting mechanism allows different finishing
functions offered by the machine (Non-Sort, Sort, and Group) to be effected.
<Straight Feeding>
• The paper that travels along a straight path is fed straight into the Shifting Unit without
being shifted sideways as the Exit Roller turns.
<Shifted Feeding>
• When the trailing edge of the paper transported to the exit section moves past the Fusing
Roller, the Shift Motor is energized to move the Transport Roller sideways.
• The paper is fed into the Shifting Unit as it is shifted sideways.
• The Exit Roller is moved sideways by turning the motor forward or backward.
• The Exit Roller is detected at its home position by a sensor.
