(2) Second paper-feed area

(9) Master-making section

(1) First paper-feed area (4) Paper-ejection section

(5) Print drum (3) Press section

(1) First paper-feed area:

Sends paper from the paper-feed tray one sheet at a time.
(2) Second paper-feed area:
Stops the paper sent from the first paper-feed stage, and accurately feeds it to the print drum and
pressure section.
(3) Press section:
The pressure roller presses the paper firmly against the print drum for printing.
(4) Paper-ejection section:
Removes the printed paper from the print drum using the separator, and sends it to the paper-
receiving tray.
(5) Print drum:
Supplies ink from the ink cartridge to the surface of the print drum for printing.
(6) Clamp unit:
Clamps the leading edge of a master onto the drum.
(7) Master-removal section:
Peels the master from the print drum after use, and discharges it into the master disposal box.
(8) Scanning section:
The original image is scanned on the Auto Document Feeder (AF) unit).
(9) Master-making section:
Transports and creates a master using the thermal print head, then sends the produced master to
the print drum, and cuts the master material.

2. Operation Outline

1) Set an original, and press the Start key.

2) Master removal operation

Removes the used master from the print drum, and sends it to the master disposal box.

3) Master-making operation
The original is scanned by the image sensor, and the image is transferred onto a master by the
thermal print head.

4) Master loading operation

The produced master is wound around the print drum and cut.
The proof-print is printed.

5) Printing operation
Paper is fed from the paper-feed tray one sheet at a time for printing. The printed paper is ejected
out onto the paper-receiving tray.

3. Outline of Paper-feeding, Printing, and Paper-ejection Operations

1) When the print drum rotates, the scraper roller and pickup roller also turn to feed paper. The
stripper pad allows only one sheet to pass through to the second paper-feed area.

2) The paper sent from the first paper-feed area contacts the timing roller and guide roller, and stops
temporarily. This causes slight buckling of the paper.

3) The timing roller and guide roller start rotating, feeding paper to the pressure section. (This
operation is referred to as the 都econd paper-feed・ To prevent tension from being placed on the
end of the paper, the scraper roller and pickup roller are free to spin.)

4) When the paper is fed further in from the second paper-feed area, the pressure roller rises to
clamp the paper between the drum and pressure roller to start the printing operation.

5) The printed paper is removed from the print drum by the separator and separation fan. When the
pressure roller rises, the guide roller also moves up to prevent tension from being placed on the
tailing end of the paper.

6) Then, the suction fan pulls in the air to keep the paper firmly on the transfer belts while the paper
is carried to the paper-receiving tray.

7) The next sheet of paper is sent to the first paper-feed area, and the guide roller lowers.

4. Master-removal operation

1) The clamp plate holding the leading edge of the master opens, and the master-release bar rises
to lift the master out from under the clamp plate
2) The vertical transport rollers and print drum rotate, thereby separating the master from the print
drum and sending it to the master disposal box.
3) The motion of the compression plate starts, pressing the master into the master disposal box.

5. Master-making operation

1) The image sensor scans the original, and the thermal print head transfers the image onto a
master.
2) The master is sent into the master stocker room.

6. Master-loading operation

1) The leading edge of the master is sent to a the clamp plate on the print drum, and the leading
edge is clamped.
2) The print drum rotates to wind the master around it.
3) The cutter cuts the master.
