Abstract
Apparatus and method for a drum-type facsimile machine having a clamping mechanism for clamping an edge portion of sheet material to the drum and gripping arms operated for removal of the sheet material for gripping the paper to inhibit its movement with the drum. The gripping action is timed to be present during the unclamping of the sheet material. The clamping mechanism, when moved to its unclamped position, causes a limited rotation to be imparted to the drum to free the clamped edge portion of the sheet material from the drum for withdrawal from the apparatus by the operator.
