6.17.4 SWITCHBACK IDLE ROLLER OPERATION
For paper longer than A4/LT, the first
sheet [B] feeds out of the inverter at
the same time that the second sheet
feeds in. (This only happens for a
fraction of a second)
To let this happen, a solenoid lifts
the switchback idle roller.
To feed the first sheet out of the
inverter, the switchback roller [A]
reverses and feeds the first sheet [B]
to the inverter rollers 1 [C]. At about
the same time, the switchback idle
roller solenoid [D] energizes and
raises the switchback idle roller [E].
The next sheet feeds into the
inverter tray through the duplex
entrance rollers [F] and under the
open switchback junction gate [G].
