Versatile Paper Handling The printer has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and straight paper path mechanism. Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5, A5, and executive sizes of paper, and various types of paper including envelopes, postcards, organizer paper, or a custom paper size. The multi-purpose sheet feeder also allows manual paper loading, so you can use labels and transparencies.

2.2.3 Paper Eject The completion of paper eject is detected in the following manner: When the leading edge of the paper push down the eject sensor actuator located in the fixing unit, the photo sensor (photo interrupter) is opened and detects the start of paper eject motion.
Sensors 2.3.1 Cover Sensor Detects open or close of the top cover. 2.3.2 Toner Empty Sensor Detects if there is toner in the toner cartridge. It also detects whether or not the drum unit is installed. (The toner cartridge is installed in the drum unit). Top Cover Cover Switch Fig.
Drum Unit 2.4.1 Photosensitive Drum Generates the latent electrostatic image and develops the image on the drum surface. 2.4.2 Primary Charger Forms a uniform charge on the drum surface. Corona wire Generates ion on the drum. Grid Spreads the ion evenly over the drum. 2.4.3 Developer Roller Develops the latent electrostatic image on the drum surface by the toner.
2.5.2 Exposure stage After the drum is positively charged, it is exposed to the light emitted from the laser unit. Drum Laser Beam Paper Laser beam lens Polygon mirror Laser detector Motor Laser diode Lens Fig. 2.32 The exposed area is the part to be printed. The surface potential of the exposed area is recreated forming an electrostatic image to be printed.
2.5.3 Developing Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The Developer Consists of the non-magnetic toner. The developer roller made of conductive rubber and the supply roller made of conductive sponge rotate on each other.
2.5.5 Drum Cleaning Stage In the image transfer stage, not all the toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto the paper but some of them remain on the drum. In the drum cleaning stage, the drum surface is cleaned by the cleaning roller, so that residual toner on the drum surface is removed away and collected in the cleaning roller itself.
