Upper exit roller up/down motion mechanism

• The upper exit roller is lowered when the media is fed straight into the main tray or stored
in the finishing tray.
• When a printed media stack/set is fed out, the upper exit roller is raised to be away from
the lower exit roller, so that there is an unblocked media path between the upper and
lower exit rollers.
• The upper exit roller is pressed against, or separated from, the lower exit roller by the
drive provided by the exit roller up/down motor.
• The exit roller sensor detects the position of the exit roller.
