(5) Transfer and separation section
(5-1) Primary transfer unit
The primary transfer section consists of the transfer cleaning unit, the transfer belt and four primary transfer rollers fac
ing each drum. When printing the color image, the toner image with a single color formed on each drum is repeatedly
transferred on the transfer belt by impressing the bias to the primary transfer rollers facing each drum, and then the full
color toner image is formed. Also, the ID sensor attached to the main unit measures the toner density on the transfer
belt.
The transfer cleaning unit collects the remaining toner on the transfer belt after the secondary transferring, and forwards
it to the waste toner box as waste toner.
