If a paper misfeed occurs between the vertical transport rollers and the registration rollers, the next sheet
is already on its way up from the paper tray, and must be stopped, or there will be a pile-up of jammed
paper.
Guide plate solenoid [B] turns on > Lever [C] raises > Lock lever [D] (on the guide plate) releases from pin
[E] (on the rear side frame) > Guide plate [A] falls open > Paper coming along the feed path is diverted
into the duplex tray.
Actuator [F] on the guide plate activates the guide plate position sensor [G] when the guide plate opens.
The user must remove jammed paper in the feed path, the sheet in the duplex tray, and manually close the
guide plate.
To prevent the guide plate from being left open, if the guide plate position sensor is activated, copying is
disabled and a caution is displayed on the LCD panel.
