Belt Drive
„
The drum motor drives the transfer belt.
Service manual, section 6.10.6
Describe the mechanism. Point out the following:
ˆ
The drum drive motor drives the transfer belt.
ˆ
There is no transport fan, because the belt attracts the paper electrostatically.
ˆ
A separation corona is not necessary; the paper separates from the belt when the
belt curves sharply away.
ˆ
Note how the tapered ends of the roller help keep the transfer belt in the center, so
that it does not run off the rollers.
