4. MASTER EJECT SECTION

4.1 OVERALL
To eject the master wrapped around the drum, the drum rotates in the direc-
tion opposite to the printing direction. Thus, the master is ejected into the
master eject box by utilizing the back curl of the master trailing edge which
is caught between the upper and lower eject rollers.
The ejected master is then compressed by the pressure plate to fully utilize
the master box capacity.
