Pick-off pawls ride along the surface of the drum to peel off paper that has not
separated from the drum.
Weak spring pressure [A] keeps the pick-off pawls [B] against the surface of the
drum.
During copying, a shaft [C] turns a cam [D]. The cam moves the pick-off pawls from
side to side to prevent drum wear at any fixed location.
