Paper Transport and Exposure
− The print size is cut immediately after the paper
has been extracted from the magazine (CU).
− The single prints are advanced by means of a
sheet gear (SG) which allows free selection of
access to the magazines.
− The sheet bridge (SB) feeds the single sheet into
the transport unit (TU).
− When the paper is drawn out of the RH
magazine, the sheet is transported into the sheet
stocker (SR) by the sheet rocker (SR) after the
stop.
When the rocker has changed position, the sheet
is fed into the TU via the sheet bridge.
− In the transport unit (TU) the sheet is turned (if
required), centred and advanced to the print
roller in the print engine (PE).
− The paper is exposed in the print engine. The
complete Laser module (LM) with the guide
mirror sits on the print engine.
− The exposed sheets are transmitted to the lane
distributor (LD) in the exit area of the transport
unit (TU). In the lane distributor, the following
operations are performed:
− Back print (2 lines)
− Distribution of the exposed single sheets on
2 lanes or
− Mismatch compensation for larger sizes
(required because of the difference between
the centred advance in the Printer and in the
Paper Processor)
− The sheet transfer (ST) advances the sheets in
pairs or offset to the Paper Processor.
The Printer frame carrying the above assembly
groups comprises in addition the Scanner, the
power supply with all associated printed circuits
(GS) and the wiring. The frame ensures the
required light-tightness.
All assembly groups are accessible from the front
or from the left side through the doors.
