Two-sided printing is enabled by mounting the duplex unit on the rear side of 
the base engine.
Duplex unit switch This switch detects that the duplex unit lower housing and 
duplex unit housing cover are closed.
Duplex unit sensor This sensor detects the presence or absence of paper in the 
duplex unit.
Duplex unit fan This fan vents air within the duplex unit and takes in outside air, 
to prevent abnormal temperature rise in the duplex unit.
Duplex roller This roller feeds the paper having the printed first surface back 
into the printer through the duplex unit, to print on the second surface.
Duplex unit PWBA The CPU on the duplex unit PWBA receives instructions 
from the HVPS/engine logic board and information from sensors and 
switches, and controls paper transport through the duplex unit.
Duplex unit motor This motor drives the three duplex rollers, which transport 
the paper through the duplex unit.
