3. Print Pressure Release Mechanism
—-
—.
/
This release mechanism prevents deformation of the drum and the pressure roller when
the drum is pulled out to remove misfed paper.
The printing pressure solenoid [A] is de-energized at the same time as the paper feed
solenoid.
When a paper misfeed occurs, the paper feed solenoid and the printing pressure
solenoid are de-energized but the print pressure is still applied to the drum. This print
pressure is released when the drum rotates to the drum home position after the drum
rotation button is pressed.
This printing pressure release mechanism works even if the paper detecting feeler is ac-
tuated by the misfed paper.
