J. Blank Exposure Control
1. Outline

The machine directs light from the pre-exposure

lamp to the photosensitive drum by way of a reflecting

plate for blank exposure, thereby blanking out gaps

between sheets of paper and non-image areas.

The machine’s blank exposure area is controlled

by two slide shutters and one open/close shutter.
