3. A metal master guide plate was used between the master feed roller and
reverse roller for the C223. This was good for grounding static electricity.
However, when static electricity is grounded, the master tends to stick to the
guide plate. As a thinner master is used for the C228, the guide plate [A] is
made of a plastic material. This prevents the master from being stuck on the
guide plate surface even if static electricity is generated. Also, ribs have been
added to the new guide plate to feed the master more smoothly.
4. Four strips of mylar [B] have been added to the surface of the master guide
plates. This can prevent the master from catching on the rollers under the
master feed and reverse rollers. Other strips of mylar are used in front of the
master feed roller [C] and after the platen roller [D].
NOTE: These mylar strips must be carefully repositioned when the rollers are
reinstalled.
