Master Buffer Duct Entrance Control
When the thermal head has finished making the master and the master has been
fed out of the duct, the cutter [B] will cut the master.
To prepare for the next master making, the master feed motor turns until the
master feed control roller [A] catches the leading edge of the master roll. The
leading edge of the roll is fed 30 mm past the cutting position, then it is stopped.
At this time, the master edge sensor is not used to detect when to stop the master.
The master edge sensor only controls the master stop position at the master feed
control roller after a roll is put into the machine.
While the master is being transported to the master feed control roller [C], the duct
entrance solenoid [D] closes the master buffer duct entrance plate [E]. This
prevents the duct entrance from catching the leading edge of the master.
After the master feed control roller [C] catches the master leading edge, the
entrance plate is opened. (The normal position of the entrance plate is open.)
