The through-path mechanism is used to move paper to the duplexing feed assembly after fixing (and after the paper has been moved to the reversing
assembly by the work of the reversing flapper).
The machine is designed to reorder pages in its memory for printing, being free of the need to print originals in sequence and being, therefore, able to
reduce the time during which paper is kept on hold, ultimately bringing about faster duplexing operation. As many as 2 sheets of paper may exist at once
between the registration sensor and the duplex paper sensor.
