Printing
2In the “platemaking” process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal
head creates the scanned image on the new master and transfers it onto the drum.
2In the “printing” process, paper separated from the stack by the feeder roller and paper
separator unit is pressed against the drum unit by the press roller. There are small holes
over only the image area of the master that is attached to the drum, and ink that seeps
from these holes is transferred to the paper. The paper is then peeled from the master by
the paper stripper finger and the top blow fan. The paper is directed onto the paper
ejection belt by a fan unit and discharged from the machine.
