2) A specific time after the reversal inlet sensor (PS17) is turned ON, the edge of the paper reaches the duplexing reverse stop position (position about 18mm up-

stream of the reversal vertical path sensor (PS18)), then the duplexing reversal motor (M10) stops.

3) The duplexing reversal motor (M10) reverse-rotates 100msec after its stop, and then the paper is fed in the direction of the decurler assembly with its trailing

edge at the top.

4) When the leading edge of the prior paper exceeds 20 mm upstream of the decurler roller [1], reversal separation solenoid (SL2) is turned ON in preparation for

the approach of the subsequent paper, and then the reversal 1 roller [2] is moved away. The subsequent paper is fed in the direction of the duplexing feeding

assembly.
