To the Standard Tray
The paper exit rollers [A] feed paper to the standard tray. These rollers are driven by the
fusing/paper exit motor [B].
When a sheet of paper stays in the paper exit unit, the paper exit sensor [C] detects the
paper jam and "xxxxx" is displayed.
When outputs push up the tray full actuator [D], the paper overflow sensor [E] detects that
standard trays is full of outputs and "xxxx" is displayed after a job end.
To the Inverter Tray
When paper is fed to the inverter tray, the junction gate [A] closes the paper path to the
standard tray. And then, the inverter roller [B] feeds paper to the inverter tray. This roller is
driven by the duplex inverter motor [C].
