Belt transfer
When all four layers of toner have transferred to the transfer belt [D], the
registration clutch turns on and feeds the paper [A] to the transfer roller [E]. Paper
feed is timed so that the leading edge of the toner image on the belt is aligned to 4
mm from the leading edge of the paper. The paper advances at the same speed as
the transfer belt.
NOTE: OPC film can be used instead of paper.
Transfer roller bias
Charged with a positive voltage (about +1400 volts), the transfer roller attracts the
toner from the transfer belt to the paper. This voltage depends on the ambient
temperature and humidity, print speed, and paper type.
