1. Transfer roller cleaning blade [A] (  x 2,  x 2)
• Never remove the inner lock screws [B] of the transfer roller cleaning blade.
• When re-assembling, make sure that the clamps [C] and [D] are arranged as shown above to avoid
contact with the release lever.
• The transfer roller cleaning blade should always be replaced when the transfer belt is replaced.
• Never touch the edge of a new transfer roller cleaning blade. The edge of the blade is dusted with
setting powder. If the setting powder is removed accidentally, dust the edge of the blade with toner.
This is especially important when only the transfer roller cleaning blade must be replaced without
replacing the transfer roller.
• Work carefully around the transfer power pack located inside the transfer belt unit, especially when
cleaning with an vacuum cleaner, to avoid damaging the power pack with static electricity.
