CHAPTER 3 THEORY OF OPERATION
2.3.3
Paper eject
After the printing image on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto the paper, the paper is
fed to the fixing unit to fix unfixed toner onto the paper.
Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the fixing unit by the first eject roller in the fixing unit.
The paper eject actuator detects whether the paper is ejected correctly or not.
After the paper exits from the first eject roller, the paper is turned by the rear cover and ejected
face down into the top output tray through the second eject roller. If the rear cover is open, the
paper is ejected face up straight to the printer rear (straight paper path).
2.3.4
Duplex printing
After the paper exits from the second eject roller with the front of sheet printed, the second
eject roller rotates conversely and feeds the paper to the duplex tray, where the paper skew is
adjusted.
Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the duplex tray to the path through the paper feed roller
and the transfer roller to the transfer block in the drum unit again for process of printing on the
back of sheet.
