pick-off pawls into contact with the drum
Slide 209
This is a back-up mechanism, in case the separation corona fails to separate the
paper from the drum.
When the leading edge of the paper on the drum enters the separation corona
unit with about 198 mm (7.8") of the paper in contact with the drum, the solenoid
switches on.
The pick-off pawl shaft starts to rotate, and the pawls attached to the shaft are
held against the drum by a spring.
