2.7.2 IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION MECHANISM
The registration rollers [A] feed the paper
[B] to the gap between the drum [C] and
the transfer belt [D].
As soon as the leading edge of the paper
reaches the gap between the transfer belt
and the drum, the transfer belt lift lever [E]
raises the transfer belt into contact with
the drum. The lift lever is driven by a
solenoid
Then a positive charge is applied to
the transfer belt through the transfer
bias roller [F] to attract the negatively
charged toner [G] from the drum. It
also attracts the paper and separates
it from the drum
