Ricoh A156 - Paper Transportation and Belt Drive Mechanism

7.5 PAPER TRANSPORTATION AND BELT DRIVE
MECHANISM
The main motor [A] drives the transfer belt through some timing belts and
gears. Since the transfer belt electrically attracts the paper [B], a transport
fan is not required.
As a result of its own stiffness and the curvature [C] of the belt, the paper
separates from the transfer belt above the transfer belt drive roller [D] as the
belt turns sharply around the transfer belt drive roller.
The tapered parts [E] at both sides of the drive roller [F] help keep the
transfer belt [G] at the center position.
