1.3 MASTER EJECT ROLLER MECHANISM

[B]
[C]
[A]
The master eject rollers are driven by the master eject motor [A] through idle
gears. The upper eject roller [B] has paddles to assure that the master is
picked up.
When the master clamper is opened and the master's leading edge is
released from the master clamper, the master eject motor turns on for 0.5
seconds to pick up the leading edge of the used master.
When the master eject motor is turned off, the master clamper motor turns in
reverse direction to close the master clamper.
The drum then starts turning at the slowest speed (30 rpm). At the same
time, the master eject rollers turn again to feed the master into the master
eject box.
After one turn of the drum, the master eject motor stops. The drum continues
turning for a half turn and stops at the master feed position.
The master eject sensor [C] is used to detect master eject jams.
