Primary transfer disengagement control
The primary transfer roller for color is engaged or disengaged to keep longer life of the image
formation parts (photosensitive drum, ITB)
Execution timing
• Roller to be engaged: when making color prints (If 2 and more sheets of Bk continues
within a job at Color + Bk mix printing, disengage the Primary Transfer Roller when printing
color)
• Roller to be disengaged: anytime other than the above timing
Control description
1) Drive of the primary transfer disengagement motor (M15) rotates the cam.
2) Rotation of the cam moves the support arm up/down, which separates (disengages) the
color primary transfer roller from the ITB.
3) Position of the primary transfer roller is detected by the Primary transfer detachment sensor
(PS22/23).
MEMO:
• At standby, the color’s primary transfer roller is disengaged.
