Buffer Path

To accept sheets from the copier continuously while the machine handles sheets on the process-
ing tray, the machine is equipped with a buffer roller, which operates as follows:
1. The first sheet is moved in the direction of the buffer roller.
2. Since the upper path switching flapper remains off, the leading edge of the sheet moves in the
direction of the buffer path switching flapper.
