Escape paper exit roller
Transports paper in combination with No. 15 roller.
17
Paper exit roller upper
Transports paper in combination with No. 18 roller. This roller normally follows No. 18 roller. When
discharging a stapled bundle of paper, the electromagnetic clutch turns on to make this roller a drive
roller. The bundle of paper is bent by the difference between this roller speed and the No. 18 roller
speed so that it is not caught by the preceding bundle staple.
