[D]
[C]
The master eject unit removes the used master from the drum. (
Duplicators – Duplicating Process – Master Ejecting)
Procedure
The drum turns to the master eject position (same as drum home position). Then
the clamper [A] opens.
↓
Master eject rollers [B] pick-up the master's leading edge and feed the master for 1
second into the master eject box [C].
↓
The clamper then closes.
↓
The drum then turns at 30 rpm while the master eject rollers continue to feed the
used master into the eject box.
↓
After the drum makes 1.5 turns, it gets to the master feed position. Then, the
master eject motor stops, and the pressure plate [D] then compresses the used
masters in the eject box.
• The capacity is 30 used masters (under normal conditions)
• The master eject process is skipped when the drum master sensor [E] detects no
master on the drum.
• During the master eject process, the master eject sensor [F] detects master eject
jams.
