3. Original separator
The original stack which has been fed and returned to the original table, and
the original stack which has not been fed yet, are separated by the original
separator [A] mechanism.
When the start key is pressed, the separator motor [B] rotates until the
original separator actuator [C] activates the separator home position sensor
[D]. The original separator is set on the original top sheet. The originals which
are fed and returned to the original table are stacked on the original
separator. When the last original (top sheet under the original separator) is
fed from the original table, the original separator drops and activates the
separator sensor [E].
If the next copy cycle continues, the separator motor rotates and the original
separator is set on the original top sheet again after the trailing edge of the
last original sheet passes through the exit sensor [F].
