6.5.2.2 Paper Transport Mechanism (Horizontal Transport
Unit)
This mechanism advances paper from the Horizontal Transport Unit to
the Tray Section. Drive is transmitted from the Transport Motor (M1) in
the Tray Section. Therefore, the gears at the exit part of Horizontal
Transport Unit and the entry part of the Tray Section must be meshed
securely.

6.5.2.3 Bin Switch Mechanism

The Bin Switch Mechanism in the Tray Section is as shown in the right
column.
The paper is passed from the Horizontal Transport Unit on to the Tray
Section via the Transport Roller. The paper path after this point varies
depending on the paper ejection mode. In the normal ejection mode,
since the Paper Guide for Bin 1 blocks the vertical paper path, the paper
is ejected to the tray in the Bin 1 via the Eject Sensor, Eject Roller, and
the Paper Empty Sensor.
In the mail box mode, if any bin other than Bin 1 is selected, the Paper
Guide for the Bin 1 is rased and the paper is transported vertically
down, passing the Bin 1. For example, if the Bin 2 is selected, the Paper
Guide for the Bin 2 lowers and blocks the paper path below. Therefore,
the paper is sent to the Bin 2 and ejected to the tray in the Bin 2 via the
Eject Sensor, Eject Roller, and the Paper Empty Sensor. The system
works in the same way for other bins.
Paper Guide lowers when the corresponding solenoid is turned on.
