Theory of Operation
• Bias Transfer Roller (BTR) – The BTR is a conductive roller that receives 
positive voltage from the HVPS. The BTR contacts the rear side of the Belt and 
applies the positive voltage to the Belt.
• Transfer Belt – The Transfer Belt is a conductive unit that receives positive 
voltage from the BTR. After the negative charged toner image on the Drum 
surface is drawn by the positive charge on the belt, it is transferred from the 
Drum to the paper. The Transfer Belt feeds the paper toward the direction of 
the Fuser.
Imaging Unit
Excess toner is removed from the Drum and the BCR surfaces, while excess charge 
is also eliminated from the drum surface.
• Drum Cleaning – The cleaning blade contacts the surface of the drum 
collecting the excess toner by scraping off toner.
• Cleaning Roller – The Cleaning Roller contacts the surface of the BCR 
collecting the excess toner by scraping off toner.
• Charge Cleaning – When the Drum is charged by the BCR, any excess charge 
hinders the Drum surface from being uniformly charged, which may lead to 
print quality problems. The the latent charge pattern remaining on the 
photoconductive drum is neutralized by the Erase Lamp (LED) to prepare the 
drum for the next Exposure cycle.
