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.
