1. Master Ejection: Removes the master from the drum and
ejects the used master into the master
eject box.
2. Scanning: Scans the original image through the
mirror and the lens to the CCD while
feeding the original.
3. Master Feeding: Converts the scanned CCD image signals
into digital signals which are used by the
thermal head to develop the master. The
generated heat de vel o ps th e m ast er by
atomizing the pla s tic coa ti n g It i s the n
clamped and wrapped around the drum
surface. The master is cut to cover the
entire drum surface.
4. Paper Feeding: Sends paper to the drum section.

5. Printing: Presses th e paper fed from the paper
feed section onto the drum. This transfers
the ink to the paper through the drum
screen and the master.
6. Paper Delivering: The air knife and exit pawls removes the
printed paper from the drum, and ejects
the paper onto the pa pe r deli very table.
