7. IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER
SEPARATION
7.1 PRE-TRANSFER LAMP
The pre-transfer lamp [A] prevents incomplete toner transfer. This lamp
consists of a line of 40 LEDs.
After the latent image is developed but before the image is transferred to the
copy paper, the drum surface is illuminated by the pre-transfer lamp. This
illumination further reduces the negative potential on the drum surface after it
has been partially discharged by exposure. This makes image transfer
easier.
The pre-transfer lamp turns on and off at the same time as the main motor.
