Media transport

• Transport rollers 1 and 2 transport 1-sided printed media and 2-sided printed media to be
fed out of the main body to the finisher section.
• The 1-sided printed media to be subjected to the second print process is not transported
to the finisher section, but is switched back into the main body.
• Media transport is accomplished by the drive of the fusing motor of the main body.
• If the optional duplex option is mounted on the main body, media transport is accom-
plished by the drive of the reverse motor built into the duplex option.
• The transport unit is not provided with any sensors for detecting the transport condition
of the media. The entrance sensor of the finisher section performs the function of detect-
ing the transport condition of the media.
