With this machine, the paper is first fed to the inverter guide and then pulled back to be fed in reverse.
The paper is fed until its trailing edge passes through the junction gate [A] during which the paper is temporarily stored in the inverter guide [B].
Then, the reverse roller [C] feeds the paper back to the machine’s interior and then to the duplex unit. The reverse roller is driven by the reverse motor.
The presence of the paper and whether or not it is jammed is detected by the fusing exit sensor [2] and reverse sensor [1].
Inverter Guide Outline
To prevent the paper from diverting when fed in reverse, there is the inverter guide [A] to guide the paper, and inverter guide cover [B] to remove the jammed paper. The inverter guide supports the paper size up to A4 LEF.
When handling A3 SEF or larger paper, the paper protrudes from the inverter guide edge. In such a case, pull out the extension tray [C] to prevent the paper from drooping.
The inverter guide temporarily supports paper, but it does not have the function to stack paper like the output tray.
