7-1. PC Drum Charge Corona Comb Electrode Cleaning Mechanism
The two PC Drum Charge Corona Comb Electrodes are provided with a cleaning
mechanism that removes from the electrodes any toner and dust particles which
would otherwise cause uneven charging, white streaks on copies, and charge leak.
<Mechanism>
When PC Drum Charge Comb Cleaning Motor M7 is energized, its drive is trans-
mitted to the Screw Shaft. This in turn moves the Cleaner mounted on the Screw
Shaft.
Drum Comb Cleaner Home Position Sensor PC16 detects the Cleaner at its
home position (which is the reference position for its cleaning motion). The
Cleaner makes one round trip per each cleaning cycle to clean the electrodes.
