In invert/exit mode for face-down delivery:

  • After the paper passes under the heat pipe, the exit junction guides the paper to the invert/exit path.
  • When the leading edge of the paper passes the exit junction gate sensor [F], the exit junction gate motor [C] rotates cam [D] which opens exit junction gate [E] and opens the invert path
  • When the exit JG sensor [A] detects the leading edge of the paper, the invert entrance motor [B] turns on and feeds the paper down into the inverter unit.

When the exit JG sensor [A] detects the trailing edge of the paper, the invert entrance motor [B] and exit invert motor [C] speed up slightly. The junction gate [D] normally closes the path but paper can move past it.

When the exit/invert separation sensor [A] detects the trailing edge of the paper:

  • The invert entrance motor [B] stops
  • The exit/invert motor [C] reverses, and then feeds the paper to the exit above.
  • After the paper passes the invert/exit roller, the exit/invert separation motor [D] turns on and separates the exit/invert rollers so the sheet can feed to the exit and allows the next sheet to enter the invert unit.
