[C]
The air from the air knife nozzle [A] separates the paper from the drum.
The exit pawl [B] prevents the paper from being transported upwards and being
wrapped around the drum, if the air does not separate the paper properly.
The air knife fan motor [C] starts blowing air when either the print start key is
pressed or the master cutting cycle is finished. The paper passes under the exit
pawl and is delivered onto the delivery table. The motor air knife stops after the last
sheet of paper is fed out.
