2.1.6
Tape Eject Mechanism (Full Cut Only)
The mechanism sends the full cut tape to the outside of the machine.
When the tape is full cut, it is fixed by the tape pressure, the eject rubber provided on the eject
shaft and the eject roller.
After the tape is cut, the tape pressure is released, and the eject shaft is rotated at the same
time so that the tape fixed by the eject rubber and eject roller is ejected.
The eject shaft is rotated by the eject motor. The rotation of the eject shaft is synchronous with
the movement that the tape pressure is released.
