Details of the paper transportation system

In the paper transportation process, paper is automatically fed by the pick-up roller and transported to the
registration roller. The registration roller synchronizes with the transfer belt. The registration roller transports
the paper to the transfer roller. During the transfer process, the transfer roller forwards the paper to the fuser
rollers. During the fusing process, the fuser rollers transport the fused paper to the exit roller and the exit
roller pushes the final paper out of the rear cover assembly.
