7.6 ORIGINAL FEED-OUT MECHANISM

[A]
[D]
[C]
[B]
The exit rollers [A] are driven by the inverter motor [B]. When the document
feeder receives the feed out signal from the copier, the transport belt and the
exit rollers start turning simultaneously. The transport belt carries the original
to the inverter rollers [C] and the exit rollers take over the original feed-out.
When the original trailing edge passes the feed-out sensor [D], the feed-out
motor drops to half of its normal speed for 220 milliseconds and then stops.
The lower speed prevents uneven stacking of originals. For A3 or double
letter size originals, the feed-out motor speed does not change due to the
length of the originals.
