Figure 1-3-29 Transfer and separation section
The transfer and separation section consists of the transfer charger assembly and drum
separation claws.
The transfer charger assembly consists of the transfer charger, which applies a high voltage
to transfer the toner image from the drum surface onto the paper, and the separation charger
that helps the paper separate from the drum surface.
In the transfer charger, a high voltage generated by the high-voltage transformer PCB
(HVTPCB) is applied across both ends of the tungsten wire for transfer charging.
The separation charger uses the AC voltage applied from the high-voltage transformer PCB
to neutralize the residual charge on the paper after transfer. The paper can then separate
from the drum under its own weight. The drum separation claws ensure the paper separates
from the drum reliably.
