2. BASIC OPERATION
2.1 OVERVIEW
[F]
After the tape dispenser receives the start signal from the main body, the drive
motor [A] rotates counterclockwise to feed out the tape. The pinch roller [B]
presses the center of the tape against the feed roller [C] flexing the tape into a V
shape. This keeps the tape stiff as it is fed out. After the tape has fed out the
proper length, the drive motor rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise) and
the cutter [D] moves down to cut the tape, After the cutter home position sensor
[E] detects the cutter actuator [F], the drive motor stops and sends the task
completion signal to the main body. The main body starts the next job after
receiving this signal.
