Paper paths
3-16
The paper path is the route that stocks (paper, transparencies,
labels, and so on) follow through the printer from the feeder trays
to the output trays.
The figure below illustrates the simplex (one-sided output) paper
path of a printer with a dual stacker tray and a standard feeder
tray. The materials move from either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2
and are stacked in either stacker tray 1, stacker tray 2, or the
sample tray, depending on your selection at the beginning of the
job.
Figure 3-11. Simplex paper path (dual stacker configuration)
The following figure illustrates the duplex (two-sided output)
paper path of a printer with a dual stacker and a standard feeder.
Materials may originate in either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2.
The duplex paper tray receives the materials before they go
through a second time to receive the second image. As the
pages move through for the second image, they follow the
simplex path. The pages are then stacked in either stacker tray 1
or stacker tray 2, depending on your selection at the beginning of
the job.
