Abstract:
A stencil sheet discharging device for a stencil printing machine comprising:a discharged stencil sheet compression plate for use in compressing a discharged stencil sheet fed into a discharged stencil sheet box within the discharged stencil sheet box; a driving means for driving said discharged stencil sheet compression plate and compressing the discharged stencil sheet within said discharged stencil sheet box; a compression force detecting means for sensing that a predetermined compression force is added to said discharged stencil sheet; a control means for stopping a compressing operation performed by said driving means when a predetermined compression force is detected by said compression force detecting means; a moving amount detecting means for detecting a moving amount of said discharged stencil sheet compression plate when a predetermined compression force is detected by said compression force detecting means; and a display means for displaying a residual amount in said discharged stencil sheet box in reference to a moving amount detected by said moving amount detecting means.
