6.4 OPC BELT
6.4.1 DRIVE
The main motor drives three different gears on the OPC belt unit (also referred to
as the photoconductor unit) [A] via three different drive paths. Two different idle
gears send the drive power to the OPC belt drive gear [B] and the charge roller
gear [C]. The waste-toner collection unit routes the drive power to the waste toner
transport gear [D] ( 6.6.4, Drive). The transfer belt sensor detects the drive speed
( 6.6.2).
6.4.2 OPC BELT CLEANING
The OPC-belt cleaning blade [B] is near the bottom of
the OPC belt [C]. The OPC-belt cleaning blade removes
any remaining toner [A] from the OPC belt. Removed
toner (waste toner) goes into the waste toner duct [F].
The waste toner feeder [D] moves waste toner towards
the right end of the waste toner duct. At this time the
waste toner enters the waste-toner collection unit.
