RECORDING SECTION
Curvature Separation and Static Charge Eliminator
As shown in Fig. 4-52, recording paper tends to be wound onto the photo-
sensitive drum more easily after toner has been transferred. For this reason,
the recording paper separates naturally from the photosensitive drum due
to the strength of the recording paper itself as a result of the outside diam-
eter of the photosensitive drum being reduced. This is called “curvature
separation.”

As even light-stock recording paper tends to wind onto the photosensitive
drum, the electrical charge remaining on the recording paper is removed by
the static charge eliminator.
