Ricoh A-P4, Service Manual

Page: 355 / 381

At the designated time after the main motor switches on, the transfer belt contact clutch switches on and
the transfer belt touches the drum at [D].
When the paper enters the gap between the belt and the drum, the high voltage supply board [E] applies
a high positive current to the belt to transfer the image to the paper.
After receiving the image from the drum, the paper is fed by the belt. The paper moves to the end of the
transfer belt unit, where it separates from the belt as the belt curves away. Then the paper moves on to the
fusing unit.
