DRIVE
The Duplex Unit is driven as follows: the paper after printing on one side is fed into the
paper eject tray once and when the tail end of the paper has left the guide behind the paper
eject roller, the paper eject roller starts rotating to transport the paper into the Duplex Unit.
With the Duplex Unit installed, the paper eject roller is separated from the drive on the
printer body and is driven by the paper eject motor in the Duplex Unit.
The transport roller in the Duplex Unit is driven by the transport motor in the Duplex Unit.
The paper is transported into the printer body by the transport roller.
