Abstract:
A device for output of single sheets from a printer or copier, comprising:a driven roller pair having a conveying nip in which a respective single sheet is transported and is deflected from an approximately vertically proceeding conveying path into an approximately horizontal conveying path;a deposit compartment for depositing the conveyed single sheets;a separation element that suppresses a continued conveying of the respective single sheet on a circumferential surface of a lower roller of said roller pair, said separation element being arranged in a proximity of the circumferential surface of the lower roller;an edge sensor arranged preceding the roller pair as viewed in a conveying direction, said edge sensor determining whether single sheets have pushed on top of one another as a result of a paper jam;a discharge brush which electrically discharges one side of the single sheet arranged in the conveying path following the roller pair;a deflection device that deflects the single sheet emeroing from said conveying nip into a substantially horizontal attitude; andsaid discharge brush being mounted to said deflection device.
