After the tape dispenser receives the start signal from the main body, the
drive motor [A] will rotate counterclockwise to feed out the tape. The pinch
roller [B] will press the center of the tape against the feed roller [C] flexing the
tape into a V shape. This will keep the tape stiff as it is fed out. After the tape
has fed out the proper length, the drive motor will rotate in the opposite
direction (clockwise) and the cutter [D] will move down to cut the tape. After
the cutter home position sensor [E] detects the cutter actuator [F], the drive
motor will stop and will send the task completion signal to the main body. The
main body will start the next job after receiving this signal.
