Exit Assembly
The Exit Assembly uses rollers, solenoids, sensors, and diversion gates to handle
media exiting the Fuser.
Exit Assembly components include:
■ Exit Gate
The Exit Gate switches the paper path. When the Exit Gate is in its resting
position, paper is fed to the Top Output Tray. When it is lowered by the Exit Gate
Solenoid, paper is fed to the Side Output Tray or Duplex Unit.
■ Exit Gate Solenoid
Switches the paper discharge path between the Top and Side Output Trays.
■ Side Output Tray Full Stack Sensors
These sensors use an actuator to detect when the Top or Side Output Tray is full.
■ Fuser Exit Sensor
The Fuser Exit Sensor detects whether paper remains in the output rollers.
■ Door E Detect Sensor
Detects whether Door E is open or closed.
■ Side Output Tray Detect Sensor
Detects whether the Side Output Tray is open or closed.
