The trailing edge fence [B] moves paper up to the proper position to output. Then the stack feed-out pawl [A] that is attached to the stack feed-out belt [C] pushes the paper out. The stack feed-out motor [D] moves the stack feed-out pawl [A] and the trailing edge fence [B]. After a stack is output, both the trailing edge fence [B] and stack feed-out pawl [A] return to their HP.
There are two types of stack output.
- 1. Pawl, exit roller: Small sizes (A4, LT, B4 SEF)
Output is done by the exit roller, and by the trailing edge fence and the stack feed-out pawl as described above. - 2. Roller exit: A4, LT, B5 LEF
Only the exit roller is used to output the stack, without using the trailing edge fence and the stack feed-out pawl.
For Large Sizes (A3, B4, LG, DLT)
- 1 to 10 sheets: Roller exit method
- More than 11 sheets: Pawl, exit roller method
