2.2 FEED IN AND EXIT MECHANISM
Feed-in
The inverter gate solenoid [A] stays off and the inverter roller [B] rotates clockwise.
A sheet of paper is sent to the inverter section. The inverter section can stack sizes
of up to A4 lengthwise when the cover guide [C] is closed. Therefore, the user must
open the cover guide when using larger sizes of paper (longer than A4/LT
lengthwise).
Inversion and Exit
The inverter gate solenoid turns on and the inverter motor turns on in reverse
shortly after the trailing edge of the paper passes through the entrance sensor [G].
As a result, the inverter gate [D] is opened and the inverter roller rotates
counterclockwise. The paper is sent to the copier through the upper and lower
transport rollers [E, F].
