Composition/Operation
14.3 Operation
14.3.1 Image Transfer Section
• A positive charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to transfer the toner image
formed on the surface of the PC Drum onto the paper.
• The charge applied to the Image Transfer Roller is varied according to the following con-
ditions to ensure that image transfer efficiency is stabilized.
1. Paper Type: The amount of charge is made less for OHP film.
2. Paper width: The smaller the paper width, the greater the amount of charge.
3. B/W ratio of image: The lower the B/W ratio, the greater the amount of charge.
• A negative charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to return toner sticking to the
Image Transfer Roller to the PC Drum. It is performed in the following timings:
(At the start and end of a copy cycle; when the Power Switch is turned ON; when a mis-
feed or malfunction is reset)
14.3.2 Paper Separation Section
• Paper separation is accomplished through the curvature separation system that works
on the diameters of the PC Drum and the Image Transfer Roller.
Since the PC Drum has a small diameter, there is no likelihood that the paper will be
wound around the PC Drum. The paper is separated by its own weight.
• The Charge Neutralizing Plate neutralizes any charge left on the paper after image trans-
fer, thereby preventing discharge noise that could otherwise occur when the paper is
separated.
• The PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers properly separate from the surface of the PC
Drum thin paper or other type of paper that is hard to separate.
