Duplex Printing - Lexmark MS312 Service Manual

Duplex printing

After the first side of the media has been printed on and is partially fed out to the output bin, the duplex solenoid
activates. This causes the exit roller to reverse its rotation and feed the media, with its trailing edge first, back into the
redrive assembly and then to the duplex paper path. The duplex front and rear deliver rollers move the media through
the duplex paper path, the diverter, the first input roller, and back to the primary paper path. The same process for
printing on the first side of the media repeats, this time for the second side of the media.
