Electronics
The Rewinder Motor and Encoder system are directly controlled by the Main PCA.
The paper output system
Functionality
The system ensures that the printed paper follows a controlled path and acquires a certain shape in
order to be delivered properly to the user. It also has a cosmetic function.
The system includes a set of three telescopic trays, which are extended to collect the cut-sheet paper
printed from the Multi-Sheet Tray.
There are two roll-paper control tabs that are deployed automatically when the telescopic trays of the
Output Tray are in the closed position. This is a purely mechanical action as the tabs are pushed up by
the output trays when closed. The purpose of those tabs is to control the shape of the roll paper when
coming out of the paper path.
The Front Cover is located underneath the Output Platen.
Electronics
The only electronic component related to the Output Platen is the Output Tray Sensor located
underneath the output trays. The sensor is activated when the three output trays are fully closed. The
sensor cable is routed via the front of the machine and is directly connected to the main PCA.
The Cutter system
The Cutter cuts the paper after the print has completed.
It comprises 1) a cutter module that cuts the paper with two rotary blades, 2) a Cutter Bridge attached
to the Carriage that catches and releases the Cutter to perform the cutting operation and then to leave it
in capping position, 3) a Cutter Guide that holds the movement of the Cutter along the printer width.
