UPPER TRAY OUTPUT August 2006
B700-60
After the stack is stapled, the feed out belt motor [A] switches on and drives the
feed out belt [B].
The a 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].
The feed out belt motor stops 300 ms to prevent the stapled stack from rising too
high.
Next, the feed out belt motor switches on again, then the pawl actuates its home
position sensor and switches off the motor.
There are two output pawls on the feed out belt to improve the productivity of the
feed out operation.
