Method of and apparatus for compressing discharged stencil in stencil printer

摘要

Discharged stencils stored in a discharged stencil box of a stencil printer are compressed by a compression member driven by a DC compression motor. The cycle rate of pulses generated from a rotary encoder representing the speed of the compression motor is detected and the compression motor is stopped when the cycle rate of the pulses generated from the rotary encoder becomes equal to a value corresponding to a predetermined desired output torque of the compression motor.
