Cut-sheet paper output
In the cut-sheet paper mode, the output paper can be oriented in the horizontal
direction (toward the face-up tray) or upward (toward the face-down tray). When the
MPU receives the print instruction (PRNT signal) from the 030 (or 040) controller
and completes drum cleaning, the transfer unit goes up to its upper limit, and then the
paper output gate moves down to open the cut-sheet paper output path. The position
of the face gate determines whether the paper is routed in the horizontal direction to
the face-up tray (face gate up) or upward to the face-down tray (face gate down).
Cut-sheet paper output selection is made through the operator control panel.
