Image Output Terminal (IOT) Sub-Assemblies
The Image Output Terminal (commonly referred to as the print engine) is made up of
nine major subsystems:
■ The Process Drive
■ The Media Path Drive
■ The Ink Loader
■ The Printhead
■ The Drum Maintenance System
■ The Preheat and Deskew System
■ The Drum Assembly and Transfix System
■ The Exit Module or Media Exit Path (MEP)
■ The Purge System
Note
The electronics module is also a subsystem of the IOT but was discussed
previously. For more information on the electronics module, see "System
