1) External Paper Feed Section
This section feeds a single sheet of paper from paper stacked in the paper feed tray, sending it to the
registration section.
2) Internal Paper Feed Section
This section feeds a single sheet of paper from paper stacked in the three paper feed trays, sending it to the
registration section.
3) Registration Section
This section sends sheets (while adjusting the speed and timing) from the external or internal paper feed
section toward the face up paper receiving tray for printing at the BP section.
4) BP Section
This section prints via print heads as the Belt Platen feeds the paper.
5) Paper Transfer Section
This section sends printed sheets to the face up paper ejection section or paper elevation section.
In duplex printing, sheets are sent to the switchback section for printing on the other side.
When face down paper ejection is specified, sheets are ejected in the face down paper ejection section.
6) Paper Ejection Section
• Face Up Paper Ejection Section
This section transfers printed sheets onto the face up paper receiving tray. Otherwise, sheets are
ejected to an optional multi-finisher via an paper ejection connection kit.
