In the duplex mode, paper passes through the copier inverter unit and then
goes into the duplex inverter section.
When the paper reaches the fusing exit sensor, the relay pinch roller solenoid
[A] is de-energized. The relay pinch roller [B] is pressed against the inverter
roller [C]. The paper is sent to the lower section.
When the paper passes the copier inverter entrance sensor, the duplex
entrance gate solenoid [D] is energized.
The return pinch roller [E] feeds the paper back and the duplex entrance gate
[F] directs the paper to the duplex unit.

2.1.2 Duplex Transport
[A]
[B]
[C]
After the copy is reversed in the inverter unit, it comes to the duplex transport
section. The duplex transport unit [A] carries the copy from the inverter unit to
the appropriate gate in the fork gate unit [B]. The CPU opens the gate
corresponding to the copy paper size. The copy paper passes through the
gate and is transported to the jogger unit [C].

NOTE: Numbers circled within solenoid indicate sequence of solenoid
operation.
The fork gate unit has four gates [A] through which copy paper passes to the
duplex tray. Two solenoids [B, C], working together, create any of five
separate states for the fork gates. (See the figure.)
When the duplex unit is set, the duplex drive gear [A] engages with the
duplex gear [B]. The rotation of the duplex/LCT motor is transmitted to the
duplex unit through the duplex drive clutch [C].
The duplex paper feed clutch gear then turns through the idle gear. The
duplex paper feed clutch [D] controls the transmission of the rotation to the
duplex paper feed [E], reverse [F], and pick-up rollers[G].
This drive is also transmitted to the duplex entrance roller gear [H] through
gears and timing belts. All duplex transport rollers [I] are turning.
Drive is then transmitted back to the LCT via the duplex inverter drive gear
[J], and turns the inverter rollers.

15 mm
[A]
Paper is stacked in the duplex tray, which consists of the duplex delivery tray
[A] and the jogger unit [B].
The duplex delivery tray transports paper from the fork gate unit to the jogger
unit. The duplex delivery tray is ribbed to achieve precise stacking of paper in
the duplex tray.
The jogger unit consists of a drive motor [C], jogger fences [D], duplex
settlers [E], a positioning roller [F], and duplex stoppers [G]. All these
components work together to achieve proper stacking of paper in the duplex
tray.
When the Start key is pressed, the CPU reads the cassette paper size coding
and the jogger fences are positioned 15 mm from either side of the copy
paper. As paper enters the duplex tray, it is positioned under the duplex
settlers. The positioning roller (made of sponge) rotates and pushes the
paper up against the duplex stoppers to correct paper skew. The positioning
roller is then lifted, and the jogger fences move inwards to square the stack
every time a sheet enters the duplex tray.

Both the front [A] and rear [B] fences of the jogger unit are attached to the
same wire [C]. The jogger drive pulley [D] is mounted on the jogger motor
shaft. When the jogger drive pulley turns, both fences move the same
distance in opposite directions. The jogger home position sensor [E] informs
the CPU when the jogger is at the home position.
In duplex mode, when the Start key is pressed, the jogger fences are driven
outward by the stepper motor, and the sensor actuator plate [F] slides
through the slot of the jogger home position sensor to the reference home
position. After the home position is referenced, the jogger fences move
inward and the stop position is determined by the paper size (cassette code).

-- Drive Mechanism -The duplex positioning roller [A] is driven by the main drive belt. Power is
transferred from the main drive belt to the positioning roller through the
positioning roller pully [B], the positioning drive shaft [C], the positioning roller
pulley [D], and the rubber belt.
-- Up and Down Mechanism -The positioning roller release spring [E] lifts the positioning roller 7 millimeters
(0.29") above the jogger bottom plate and holds it in this position so that it
does not interfere with the lateral stacking process. When a sheet is fed into
the duplex tray, the positioning roller solenoid [F] energizes, pulling the
positioning roller down to fully advance the copy paper up to the duplex
stopper.

Duplex Entrance Sensor
When paper enters the duplex tray, the positioning roller bracket [A] is in the
low position and the actuator roller [B] is resting on the jogger bottom plate.
When the paper passes under the actuator roller, the friction of the paper
turns the actuator roller. This rotation moves the entrance actuator [C] up and
down, actuating the entrance sensor.
There are several slots in the entrance actuator [C] that activate the sensor
[D] successively when the actuator roller rotates. If there are more than two
changes (ON - OFF - ON or OFF - ON - OFF) during the checking period, the
CPU determines that paper has entered the duplex tray.
Duplex Paper Sensor
When there is copy paper in the duplex tray, the paper actuator [E] is moved
up and away from the duplex paper sensor [F], which activates the
photointerrupter (5V
→ 0V). This informs the CPU that paper is in the duplex
tray. When the last sheet of paper has entered the duplex tray, the CPU
checks the duplex paper sensor signal and lights the second original
instructions in the guidance display.

The pick-up roller bracket is lifted up by the rear most duplex stopper [A].
Both the duplex stopper and the pick-up roller [B] are moved by solenoids.
When paper is being fed, the duplex stopper solenoid [C] is energized and
the stoppers are lowered. The pick-up roller bracket rotates downward and
the pick-up roller drops onto the copy paper. The duplex pick-up solenoid [D]
is energized 160 milliseconds after the duplex feed clutch turns on. Paper
feed then begins. The pick-up roller stays in contact with the paper during
paper feed.

Drive from a reversible motor [A] is transmitted through a worm gear [B] to

hooks are set to the stays [D] of the bottom plate, so, when the drive pulley
turns (clockwise, rear view), the hooks on the wires move the tray upward.
The tray goes up until the upper limit sensor [E] is actuated by the top sheet
pushing up the pick-up roller [F].
To lower the tray, the pulley turns counterclockwise until the lower limit
sensor [G] is actuated by the actuator of the bottom plate [H].

When the tray is set, it is positioned by the lock arm [A]. The roller of the lock
arm presses against the lock plate [B]. And the lock lever [C] engages the
tray stopper [D] to prevent the tray from being opened or pulled out while the
tray is in the up position.
When the tray moves to the down position, the tray bottom plate pushes the
lock lever. The tray stopper is disengaged and it is allowing the tray to be
pulled out.

When the tray is pulled out, the pick-up release lever [A] is turned and the

At the front side of the tray, there is the paper end feeler lift-up mechanism
[C]. When the tray is pulled out, the paper end release lever [D] turns and the
paper end feeler [E] is lifted up.
These prevent the pick-up roller and the paper end feeler from hitting the tray
rear frame, when the tray is pulled out.

When paper is in the tray, the paper lifts the paper end actuator [A] up. When

Add Paper indicator then lights.

Each paper size has its own unique combination of notches in the paper size
plate [D].
The CPU reads which photointerrupters have been de-activated by the paper
size plate to determine which paper size has been set.
Whenever both front and rear side fences are moved for changing paper
size, this paper size plate should also be moved to the proper position.
