6.4 COPY PROCESS OVERVIEW
6.4.1 RAISING AND LOWERING OF THE ITB UNIT
This machine has four PCUs arranged in a straight line: Y, C, M, K above the ITB (Image
Transfer Belt) unit [A]:
The ITB lift motor raises and lowers the ITB unit.
The ITB lift motor raises ITB unit for full-color copying. The drum of every PCU
contacts the image transfer belt below.
The ITB lift motor lowers the ITB for black-and-white copying. Only the black PCU (K)
contacts the image transfer belt below.
To reduce wear on moving parts of the color PCUs, the drums of the color PCUs (Y, M,
C) do not rotate while they are separated from the image transfer belt during
black-and-white copying.
If a job contains black-and-white pages and full-color pages, the action of the ITB is
controlled by SP3930-1.
