The operation sequence of the duplex unit is controlled by the duplex controller PCB. An 8-bit microcomputer mounted on the duplex controller PCB controls the
operation sequence of the duplex unit and the serial communication with the DC controller PCB.
The duplex controller PCB drives motors in response to various commands sent from the DC controller PCB. The DC controller PCB sends the duplex unit status
back to the printer. The duplex unit is powered by 24 VDC supplied from the power supply kit PCB and +5VDC and +3.3 VDC supplied from the DC controller
PCB.
The duplex unit circuit configuration is shown below.

After the printing paper is fed by the delivery roller in the fixing unit of the host machine, the duplex flapper solenoid (SL1001) turns on to lead the paper to the
duplex unit.
The printing paper led to the duplex unit is fed by three feed rollers to the printer.
The reversal motor (M102) and feed motor (M1001) are stepping motors. The rotation direction of these motors is controlled by the microcomputer (CPU) mounted
on the duplex controller PCB.
Feed roller 1 is driven by the reversal motor (M1002). Feed rollers 2 and 3 are driven by the feed motor (M1001). The paper transport path is provided with two
photo interrupters, duplex paper sensor 1 (SR1002) and duplex paper sensor 2 (SR1003).
