CHAPTER 2 THEORY OF OPERATION
3.3.6

Paper eject

After the printing image on the exposure drum is transferred onto the paper, the paper is fed to
the fuser unit to fix unfixed toner onto the paper by the heat roller and the pressure roller in the
fuser unit.
Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the fuser unit. The paper eject actuator detects whether
the paper is ejected correctly or not.
After the paper exits from the heat roller, the paper is turned by the back cover and ejected
face down into the top output tray through the eject roller ASSY.
