2.7.4 PAPER TRANSPORTATION AND BELT DRIVE
MECHANISM
The transfer belt is driven by the drum motor [A] through belts and gears.
Since the transfer belt electrically attracts the paper [B], a transport fan is not
required.
At the turn in the transfer belt, the belt is discharged by the transfer belt drive roller
[C] to reduce paper attraction, and the paper separates from the belt as a result of
its own stiffness.
The tapered parts [D] at both sides of the roller [E] help keep the transfer belt [F] in
the center, so that it does not run off the rollers.
