6.7 ORIGINAL FEED-OUT MECHANISM

[A]
[D]
[C]
[B]
The exit rollers [A] are driven by inverter motor [B]. When the document
feeder receives the feed out signal from the main system, the transport belt
and the exit rollers start turning simultaneously. The transport belt carries the
original to the inverter rollers [C] and the exit rollers take over the original
feed-out. When the original's trailing edge passes the feed-out sensor [D], the
feed-out motor drops to half of its normal speed for 350 milliseconds and then
stops. The lower speed prevents uneven stacking of originals. For A3 or
double letter size originals, the feed-out motor speed does not change due to
the length of the originals.
