The Image Output Terminal (commonly referred to as the print engine) is made up of
nine major subsystems:
â– The Process Drive
â– The Media Path Drive
â– The Ink Loader
â– The Printhead
â– The Drum Maintenance System
â– The Preheat and Deskew System
â– The Drum Assembly and Transfix System
â– The Exit Module or Media Exit Path (MEP)

Note
The electronics module is also a subsystem of the IOT but was discussed
previously. For more information on the electronics module, see "System
