7.3.7 Belt Lubricant Mechanism

Toner filming on the belt will reduce the efficiency of toner separation from

the belt. A small amount of lubricant is regularly applied to the surface of the

transfer belt [A] to help the cleaning blade easily remove toner from the

transfer belt and to help toner to transfer to the paper.

The lubricant brush [B] distributes lubricant from the lubricant bar [D] to the

transfer belt. Basically, the lubricant brush is away from the transfer belt and

contacts the belt under the control of the lubricant brush solenoid [C]. The

lubricant brush contacts after the following conditions:

•

After the last copy job is completed and more than 50 copies have been

made since the last lubrication.

•

In ARDF mode, every 150 copies, even if it is during a continuous copy

job. The machine temporarily stops the copy job (for about 15 s) until the

lubrication is completed. Then it resumes the rest of the copy job.
