PRINTING PROCESS OVERVIEW
Ejects the used master wrapped around the drum
into the master eject box.
Scans the original image with the CCD through the
mirrors and the lens.
Converts the image signal read by the CCD into
digital signals and sends them to the thermal head to
develop the image on the master. The master then
wraps around the drum.
Sends paper to the drum section.
Presses the paper fed from the paper feed section
against the drum. This transfers ink to the paper
through the drum screen and the master.
Peels off the printed paper with the exit pawls and air
knife, and ejects the paper onto the paper delivery
table.
