Pick-Off Pawl Operation

6
The pick-off pawls separate paper from the drum if the separation corona does not separate the paper
fully.
The pick-off pawl solenoid [A] moves the pick-off pawls [B] until they touch the drum.
When the leading edge of the paper on the drum goes into the separation corona unit, the solenoid switches
on. About 198 mm (7.8") of the paper touches the drum. The pick-off pawl shaft starts to turn, and the
pawls on the shaft are held against the drum by a spring.
