More on Duplex Feed Path
While the paper is being fed towards the duplex unit, the junction gate goes back
to the normal position, to make sure that the paper goes to the duplex unit and
not directly down to the fusing unit.
If there are two or more copies being made with A4/8½" x 11" or smaller, the
next sheet waits at the registration sensor for the current sheet to exit the
inverter.
Duplex Feed Path
118
The junction gate
directs the paper up to
the duplex inverter
rollers, instead of out to
the exit rollers.
When the paper trailing
edge reaches the
duplex inverter sensor:
The inverter roller
reverses and the
paper goes to the
duplex unit.
The paper goes down
through the duplex unit
to the registration
rollers.
Then, the second side
is printed and the page
is fed out.
