Composition/Operation
11.3 Operation
• Exit section is components for discharging the printed paper out of the printer. Exit sec-
tion enables Face-Up output to the Option Face Up Tray (mounted on the rear surface of
the machine), and output to Option offset tray as well as Face-Down output.
11.3.1 Exit motor
• This motor drives the exit roller that conveys paper to each output tray. If the optional
duplex is installed, this motor has also a function of reversing and inserting paper into the
Duplex.
11.3.2 Exit roller
• This roller transports the printed paper sent out from the fuser unit, to the Face-Down
output tray.
11.3.3 Offset tray exit roller
• This roller discharges the printed paper sent out from the fuser unit, to the Face-Up out-
put tray.
11.3.4 Face up sensor
• This sensor detects that the Face-Up print has been selected. If the face up gate lever is
raised, a signal is detected by the Actuator attached to the interlocking face up gate, and
the Face-Up print mode is set.
11.3.5 Media full sensor
• This sensor detects that the output tray is full, using the actuator for full sensor.
11.3.6 Face up gate
• This gate switches the paper transport path interlocking with the face up gate lever.
When the face up gate lever is raised, the face up gate blocks the normal paper output
path and switches the output direction to the Face-Up output tray.
