Gate claw operation, when print exits
When the leading edge of a duplexed page prints, it turns the paper
exit sensor in the printer on. The duplex upper unit motor starts
rotating in the reverse direction, rotating the claw gear. The gate
claw rotates counterclockwise feeding the page to the paper exit
roller. The page then exits the printer.
When the leading edge of a simplexed page prints, it actuates the
paper exit sensor and the duplex upper unit motor rotates in the
normal direction. This rotation is then transmitted to the claw gear
and limiter disk and the gate claw rotates in a clockwise direction so
that the page can print on the opposite side.
