2.16.6 Horizontal transport unit
The horizontal transport unit transports the paper fed
from the LCT to the vertical transport unit of the main
body. It is mounted on the lower portion of the
duplex/exit unit of the main body.
The horizontal transport drive unit is driven by the main
motor through the duplex/exit unit.
The upper horizontal transport guide can be released to
facilitate removal of jammed paper. If the lock lever is
pushed in the direction of the arrow, the lock is released.
Horizontal transport entrance and exit sensors detect
jams in the horizontal transport unit.
2.16.7 Upper transport mechanism
The upper transport unit on the upper part of the LCT
transports paper to the sorter side. The upper transport
roller is driven by the transport drive belt from the
transport motor.
The transport sensor detects jams in the upper transport
unit.
2.16.8 Other mechanisms
Tray lock/release
When the bottom plate of the tray lowers, the arm of the
lock lever is pressed by the bracket of the paper end
sensor, and the lock lever tip is raised to release the
lock. When the bottom plate of the tray is raised, the
lock lever tip is lowered and catches on the tray
positioning bracket so the tray cannot be taken out.
