The master is fed by the platen roller [A] while the thermal head [B] develops the
image on it. When the drum is at the master feed position and the master clamper
is opened, the tension roller [C] is moved away by the master clamper so that the
master's leading edge can be fed to the master clamper [D]. The leading edge of
the master is clamped by the master clamper, and the master is wrapped around
the drum and cut by the cutter [E] to the desired length.
This model uses a new master setting mechanism. This eliminates need for the
operator to manually cut the master, unlike the other models.
