Releasing the Paper
The paper is released shortly after the leading edge passes through the nip
between the drum and pressure cylinder where the image is transferred to the
paper, and it is fed towards the paper delivery unit.
As the pressure cylinder rotates, the other high point of the cam [B] reaches the
bearing at the front end of the clamper. The clamper is again opened and the
paper is released.
The opening angle of the clamper for releasing is larger than for clamping, and this
causes the paper release pawls [A] to rise to push the clamped edge of the paper,
which helps the release mechanism.
