9 Buffer Pass Unit-B1
9.1 Outline
The buffer pass unit has the following two functions:
• Removes curl from paper delivered by the copier
• Turns over paper delivered by the copier
REF.
Paper tends to curl when the toner on it is heated in the fixing assembly and
then cooled. Curl on paper adversely affects its movement and alignment
inside the sorter.
The buffer pass unit is situated between the copier and the sorter to remove
curl from paper delivered by the copier before forwarding it to the sorter.
