After the stack is stapled, the feed out belt motor [A] switches on and drives the feed out belt
[B].
The pawl [C] attached to the feed out belt catches on the stack and lifts the stack toward the
feed out slot.
The exit guide plate [F] remains open as the stack emerges at a prescribed distance away
from the exit roller.
Next, the exit guide plate closes and the exit roller feeds the stack out.
The opening and closing of the exit guide plate is controlled by the rising and falling of a link
driven by a rotating cam attached to the shaft of the exit guide plate motor [E].
