Specifications

7. Paper Feeding
Paper is fed from each drawer or Multi Bypass Table.
(For more details, see p. M-95.)
8. Image Transfer
The single-wire Image Transfer Corona Unit applies a DC negative corona emission
to the underside of the paper, thereby attracting toner onto the surface of the paper.
(For more details, see p. M-143.)
9. Paper Separation
The single-wire Paper Separator Corona Unit applies an AC corona emission [AC +
DC(+) bias voltage] to the underside of the paper to neutralize the paper.
(For more details, see p. M-143.)
In addition, mechanical paper separation is provided by the three PC Drum Paper
Separator Fingers.
(For more details, see p. M-155.)
10. Pre-Cleaning Erase
Light from the Pre-Cleaning Erase Lamp striking the surface of the PC Drum
reduces surface potential, thereby preventing toner accumulated on the back of the
Cleaning Blade from sticking to the surface of the PC Drum.
(For more details, see p. M-154.)
11. Cleaning
Residual toner on the surface of the PC Drum is scraped off by the Cleaning Blade
and conveyed to the Toner Collecting Bottle.
(For more details, see p. M-150.)
12. Main Erase
Light from the Main Erase Lamp neutralizes any surface potential remaining on the
surface of the PC Drum after cleaning.
(For more details, see p. M-160.)
13. Transport
The paper is fed to the Fusing Unit by the Suction Belts.
(For more details, see p. M-162.)
14. Fusing
The developed image is permanently fused to the paper by a combination of heat
and pressure applied by the Upper and Lower Fusing Rollers.
(For more details, see p. M-164.)
15. Exit/Duplex Switching
After the fusing process the paper is either fed out onto the Exit Tray or down into
the turnover mechanism of the Duplex Unit.
(For more details, see p. M-178.)
16. Turnover
The 1-sided copy is turned over and fed into the Duplex Unit.
(For more details, see p. M-181.)
17. Duplex Unit
The 1-sided copies are stored and then taken up one by one for the second copy
cycle.
(For more details, see p. M-186.)
