Transfer Belt Lift
Mechanism
6
The transfer belt lift solenoid [A] lifts the belt into contact with the drum using the link [B], which is connected
to the front [C] and rear [D] belt lift levers.
Springs attached to the front of the solenoid reduce the load on the solenoid as it lifts the drum.
This mechanism raises the transfer belt unit against the OPC drum only when needed, and keeps it separated
at all other times because:
• The transfer belt is between the drum unit and the ID sensor, so it would rub off the ID sensor pattern
if it remained in contact with the drum.
• Allowing toner to transfer to the belt when making sensor patterns would increase the load on the
transfer roller cleaning blade.
• The transfer belt would cause the drum to wear, if it were allowed to remain in contact with the drum.
