Interleaving - Ricoh G104 Service Manual

Interleaving

Step 1:
This duplex unit uses the
interleaving method. This
decreases the total time of duplex
printing.
The machine prints on side [1].
Then, the first sheet of paper is
fed partially out of the exit, but not
fully.
Then the exit roller changes
direction and the paper is
redirected to the duplex feed path.
At the same time, the second
sheet of paper is fed between the
transfer belt and the transfer
roller, and side [3] is printed.
Step 2:
The machine prints side [3] on the
second sheet of paper.
The second sheet of paper is fed to
the paper exit, and into the duplex
feed path. At the same time, the
first sheet of paper is fed between
the transfer belt and the transfer
roller, and side [2] is printed.
The second sheet of paper
immediately follows the first sheet
of paper in the duplex feed path.
Then side [4] is printed.
