ABSTRACT:
A feature rich, compact console electrographic reproduction apparatus having ready access to the entire receiver sheet transport path, improved thermal management, and the capability of performing automatic two-pass duplex copying or two-pass image overlaying. A first assembly, mounted for movement through a front wall of the apparatus housing for ready access, includes receiver sheet stack holders, respective receiver sheet feeders, a mechanism for receiver sheet transport to a dielectric member, and a mechanism for effecting transfer of a transferable image from such member to a receiver sheet. A second assembly, mounted for movement through the front wall of the apparatus housing for ready access, includes a mechanism for receiver sheet transport from the dielectric member, an image fixing mechanism, and a stacker for fixed image hearing receiver sheets. An auxiliary receiver sheet supporting tray, in the second assembly, includes a mechanism for selectively stacking receiver sheets in such tray in particular facial orientations which respectively enable duplex copy or image overlay copy to be automatically reproduced on receiver sheets returned from such tray to the dielectric member. A blower and associated baffling, located in the apparatus housing, directs incoming fresh air through a substantial opening in the front of such housing in a swirling pattern through its interior and exhausts such air through an opening in the bottom of the housing.
