2.1 Mechanical Operating Principles
2.1.1 Description of Mechanisms (Border Mode)
1. When a document is inserted into the paper loading gate, the paper feed rollers feed
it to the driving roller.
2. As the document passes between the paper feed rollers, the paper size detector
determines its size (length and width).
3. When the document passes between the film cartridges it is sandwiched between
the upper and lower films in the compression-feed area, where the films and
document are compressed between the driving roller and sub-roller.
4. The compressed document and film is fed to the cutting area, where it is cut to the
document size detected by the paper size detector with borders added. It is then
transported to the next stage.
5. The laminated document is fed out of the eject gate by the paper eject rollers.
