DRUM UNIT
[1] Composition
[2] Mechanisms
The drum unit is an integral assembly consisting
of a drum, charging corona unit, developing unit,
cleaning/toner recycle unit, PCL, and separation
claws.
*1 Auxiliary separation
• To prevent paper jamming, three separation
claws are used to separate paper from the
drum forcibly. These separation claws are
pressed against the drum or detached from it
by turning ON/OFF the separation claw sole-
noid (SD1).
• To prevent a specific part of image-copied
paper from being stained and to prevent the
drum from being scratched, the swing mecha-
nism slides the separation claws about 8 mm
back and forth in parallel with the drum sur-
face.
*2 Transport assistance
The thick paper conveyance ability has been
improved by the use of ratchets.
