This power-driven roller assembly is on the floor in the forms input area of
the second printer of the system; the continuous forms are threaded through
it. It assists in feeding forms from the Buffer/FlipperUnit under the printer
into the tractor feed area of the printer.
Duplex Printing Applications
The following configurations support Duplex (double-sided) printing.
Duplex printing is achieved by arranging both a Model ED1 and a Model ED2 in
series, separated by a Buffer/Flipper Unit. The first printer in the paper path prints
one side of a form. The forms then exit the printer through a Buffer/FlipperUnit,
which inverts them before threading them through the second printer.The second
printer in the paper path prints the other side of the form.
This publication calls the first printer Printer 1 and the second printer Printer 2.
Allowable printer system configurations are inline (see “Inline Configuration for
Duplex”on page 6), or a left 90° angle (see “Left Angle Configuration for Duplex”
on page7). Only a Buffer/Flipper Unit may be between Printer 1 and Printer 2,
but no preprocessing or postprocessing devices.
The forms path can be:
vFrom the forms input area of Printer 1 through to the output stacker of Printer 2
vFrom the forms input area to a postprocessing device at the output of Printer 2
vFrom a preprocessing device ahead of Printer 1 through to a postprocessing
device at the output of Printer 2.
Both printers in the configuration attach to a host system through the AFCCU. The
AFCCU controls both printers simultaneously and is physically attached to Printer
2 in the configuration.
