The high voltage supply board [A] applies positive transfer belt current to the
transfer belt [B] through the terminal block [C], terminal plate [D], and the roller [E].
The terminal block and the terminal plate come in contact with each other when the
right cover is closed.
The high voltage supply board adjusts the current supplied to the roller to keep a
small but constant current flow to ground through the belt, paper, and drum. If this
current is not maintained, the efficiency of the toner transfer and paper separation
processes will vary with paper thickness, type, environmental condition, or changes
in transfer belt surface resistance.
