2ND TRANSFER ROLLER PRESSURE MECHANISM
The 2nd Transfer Roller has the Pressure/Retraction mechanism which presses
to and retracts from the Transfer Belt so the patterns made on the Transfer Belt
except by printing (such as detection pattern during Image Stabilization) will
not affect the 2nd Transfer Roller.
 Pressure/retraction operation
1. Drive from the 2nd Image Transfer Pressure/Retraction Motor is transmitted
through a gear train to the drive gear.
2. The drive gear rotates to rotate the Cam half way. Releasing the Pressure
lever will press the 2nd Transfer Roller to the Transfer Belt.
3. At this time, the 2nd Image Transfer Pressure Position Sensor detects whether
the 2nd Transfer Roller is located at the pressure position.
4. The Cam will rotate half way when the Motor turns ON again. Moving the
Pressure lever down will move the 2nd Transfer Roller to the retraction
position and will stop.
