Exit mechanism
• There is a paper holding paddle provided at the exit roller for preventing the copy set/
stack on the exit tray from being pushed by a new copy set/stack that is being fed out
(Except the staple mode).
• The subsequent copy set/stack is fed out with the copy sets/stacks previously resident on
the tray being held down by the paper holding paddle.
• The exit paddle home position sensor, spring clutch, and exit paddle solenoid control the
retracted position and paper holding position of the paper holding paddle.
