MASTER EJECT SECTION
Master Eject Misfeed Detection:
2nd Drum Position SN
Master Eject Sol.
Master Eject Sensor

Master Eject
Motor Reversing
When the master eject sensor is not activated within 120 degrees of the drum
reverse rotation during the 1st master eject process, the drum will rotate 83
degrees in the forward direction to repeat the master eject process (2nd
master eject process) as shown above.
If the master eject sensor is not activated again in the 2nd master eject
process, a master eject misfeed is detected.
When a master misfeed occurs during the 2nd master ejection, rotation of the
drum in the reverse direction will stop, the master eject motor turns off, and
the main motor will turn on to drive the drum to the home position. After the
drum returns to the home position, the beeper sounds, and will display the
error message.
NOTE: The C226 does not contain a drum master sensor to determine if a
master is wrapped around the drum. Regardless if a used master is
present or not, the machine will perform the master eject cycle.
When the master eject sensor is not activated during the second
attemp to capture the non-existing master, the machine will display
the error message "Master Eject Jam - Remove Jammed Master".
The error message cannot be cleared by pressing the reset key.
It is not necessary to install a master onto the drum to perform the
master eject cycle, simply disconnect the drum and slide the drum
out of the machine about four (4) inches to dis-engage the drum
safety switch. Then, re-insert the drum. This will clear the displayed
error message and when the master making process is initiated
again, the machine will bypass the master eject cycle.
