3.3.4 Paper eject
After the printing image on the exposure drum is transferred onto the paper, the paper is fed
to the fuser unit to fix unfixed toner onto the paper by the heat roller and the pressure roller in
the fuser unit.
Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the fuser unit. The paper eject actuator detects
whether the paper is ejected correctly or not.
After the paper exits from the heat roller, the paper is turned by the back cover and ejected
face down into the top output tray through the eject roller.

When a paper jam occurs, the main motor rotates conversely to throw out the engagement of
the gear. Consequently, the eject roller ASSY 2 is released so that the jammed recording
paper is removed easily.
