2. DUPLEX COPY PATH
Inverter Unit:
The junction gate directs the paper to the inverter unit, which inverts the copy and sends it to
the duplex transport unit.
Duplex Transport:
The duplex transport rollers move the copy to the right. The appropriate fork gate is opened
according to the paper size. Then, the copy is sent to the jogger unit through the duplex
delivery tray.
Jogger Unit:
The copies are neatly stacked in the jogger unit to prepare them for duplex paper feed.
Duplex Paper Feed
The copy is kept in the duplex tray until the operator sets the next original and presses the
Start key. Then the duplex feed mechanism feeds the copy up through the first relay rollers to
the registration rollers. After reaching the registration rollers, the sheet follows the same path
as when the front side was copied. However, this time the reverse side faces up to receive the
image.
