2nd image transfer roller cleaning
• To remove residual toner off the surface of the 2nd Image transfer roller, a +/- DC bias is
applied alternately to the roller, thereby moving the residual toner to the surface of the
transfer belt.
• The cleaning brush then scrapes off the toner on the surface of the transfer belt.
A. Operation timing
• The sequence is carried when the power switch are turned ON or the cover is opened
and closed when a print cycle has been abnormally terminated due to a misfeed or mal-
function.
• The sequence is also carried out at the end of a print cycle that is run after the cumula-
tive number of printed pages produced has exceeded 300, or during a print cycle that is
run after the cumulative number of printed pages produced has exceeded 3000, since
the previous cleaning operation.
