2 Second Paper Feed Area: Controls the vertical print position and feeds paper to the print
area via the Timing and Guide rollers.

3 Press (Printing) Area: Uses the Pressure roller to press paper against the master on the
Drum.
The Drum rotates with the Pressure roller and prints an image on
paper.

4 Paper Ejection Area: Separates a printed paper from the Drum, and transports it onto
the paper receiving tray.

5 Drum Area: Supplies the Drum surface with ink from an Ink cartridge.

6 Master Clamp Area: Clamps the leading edge of the master.

7 Master Disposal Area: Separates used master from the Drum and disposes it into the
Master disposal box.

8 Image Scanning Area: Carries an original and scans it with the Image scanner and
converts the image information into digital data.

9 Master Making Area: Makes a master with the Thermal print head.

PAPER FEED AND RECEIVING

4. Paper Feed and Receiving

Pickup roller Drum

The Drum is rotated and a sheet of paper is fed
from the first paper feed area to the second paper
feed area by Pickup rollers, and Stripper pad.

Stripper pad

Guide roller
The paper feed to the second paper feed area is
stopped by the Guide and Timing rollers to form a
buckle. The paper then waits until the rotation of
Timing roller the Guide roller starts.

The Guide and Timing rollers in the second paper

feed area are rotated and the paper is fed to the
Pressure roller printing area.

While the paper is being fed from the second

paper feed area, the Pressure roller rises and
printing starts.
Separation fan
(The Pressure roller contacts the Drum and starts
rotating.)
Separator

After the Pressure roller contacts the Drum to start

printing, the Separator approaches the Drum and
the Separation fan starts to blow.
The Guide roller goes up to release the paper.
(The paper is then transferred by the rotation of
the Drum.)

Transfer belt The printed paper is separated from the Drum by

the Separator and with a help of the air blow from
the Separation fan.
It is then transported onto the Paper receiving tray
by the Transfer belts using Suction fan.

The Timing roller contacts with the Guide roller to

feed the next sheet of paper.
