1) The reversal solenoid (SL3) is turned OFF and the reversing flapper [1] is moved upward. The paper after fixing is fed to the reversal vertical path assembly.

2) When the trailing edge of the paper reaches the specified position (position about 19 mm from the reversal 2 roller [1]; criterion for the reversal sensor (PS17)),

the duplexing reversal motor (M8) stops/reverse-rotates, and then feeds the paper to the duplexing left feeding assembly.

3) Side registration sensor (PS25) performs the side registration detection of paper. Then the paper is pressed by the duplexing left roller [1] to remove the skew by

arching, and fed to the duplexing re-pickup standby position by the duplexing left motor (M9).
