Step 8:
Separation
Paper is separated from the transfer drum by the gripper and separation
claw. After passing through the separation discharge assembly, the
leading edge of the paper is pushed up by the gripper and the paper is
separated from the transfer drum surface by the separation claw.
In a low temperature and low humidity environment, the separation
discharge assembly is activated to assist in separating the paper from
the transfer drum.
Note: The separation discharge assembly can be forced on or off
manually by means of the density control panel. See “Separation
Voltage Designation” earlier in this chapter.
Example: The separation claw actuates in frame 232 of the animation.
The paper then separates from the drum and feeds toward the fuser
assembly. The leading edge of the paper trips separation sensor PS7 in
frame 237.
