After the master making process is finished, the master eject motor [A] turns clockwise
to raise the pressure plate [0].
When the master eject motor [A] turns, the gear [M] is driven through the gears [B], [C],
[D], [E], [F], [G], [H], [J], [K] and [L]. The pin on the gear [M] which is inserted into the
link [N] rises and lifts the left end of the link; thus, raising the pressure plate [0].
The gear [M] continues to turn until the lever [1] moves into the notch on the bottom of
the cam, located behind the gear [M]. At this time, the master eject motor [A] stops as
the lower end of the lever [1] pushes the pressure plate position switch [P]. Thus, the
pressure plate is held in the upper position.
When the master eject motor turns clockwise, the gear [G] turns clockwise, but the
upper first eject roller does not turn because of a one-way clutch in the gear [G]. Also,
when the master eject motor turns in the reverse direction (counterclockwise), the pres-
sure plate does not move because of a one-way clutch in the gear [K].
