5.5 500 Paper Exit & Option Face Up Tray / 250 Paper Exit
500 Paper Exit and 250 Paper Exit are components for discharging the printed paper out of the printer.
500 Paper Exit enables Face-Up output to the Option Face Up Tray(mounted on the rear surface of the
machine), and output to Option OCT as well as Face-Down output.
MOTOR ASSY EXIT
This motor drives the ROLL EXIT that conveys paper to each output tray. If the optional DUPLEX is
installed, this motor has also a function of reversing and inserting paper into the Duplex.
ROLL EXIT
This roll transports the printed paper sent out from the Fuser, to the Face-Down output tray.
ROLL FU
This roll discharges the printed paper sent out from the Fuser, to the Face-Up output tray.
SENSOR FACE UP OPEN
This sensor detects that the Face-Up print has been selected. If the LEVER GATE FU is raised, a
signal is detected by the Actuator attached to the interlocking GATE FU, and the Face-Up print
mode is set.
SENSOR FULL STACK
This sensor detects that the 500 Exit Face-Down output tray is full, using the ACTUATOR FULL
STACK.
GATE FU
This gate switches the paper transport path interlocking with the LEVER GATE FU. When the
LEVER GATE FU is raised, the GATE FU blocks the normal paper output path and switches the
output direction to the Face-Up output tray.
GATE OCT EXIT
This gate switches the paper transport path interlocking with the LINK GATE OCT. When the
SOLENOID ASSY GATE installed in the optional OCT operates, the LINK GATE OCT pushed down
by the spindle of the SOLENOID ASSY GATE blocks the normal paper output path and switches the
output direction to the OCT output tray .
