MASTER EJECT
Shift to the Master Eject
Position
When the Start key is pressed to
make a new master, the drum
turns to the master eject position.
During this period, the pressure
plate travels to the master eject
ready position.
The pressure plate turns
clockwise (as seen from the
operation side) until both the
pressure plate HP sensor [A] and
the limit position sensor [B] are
actuated.
Ejected Master Compression
When the ejected master has been fed to the master eject box, the pressure plate
compresses the master. During this operation, the machine can recognize how full
the eject box is by monitoring the lower limit and home position sensors.
When there are no or very few masters in the box
If there are no or only a few masters
in the box, the pressure plate can
move to its lowest position. The
pressure plate limit position sensor
detects this position.
The pressure plate turns
counterclockwise from the master
eject ready position until the limit
position sensor [B] has been actuated
twice. The sensor status changes:
on ⇒ off ⇒ on.
The pressure plate stays at the lower
limit position for 2 seconds, then
returns to the home position.
