7.Detailed Descriptions
OPC Drum Drive Mechanism
The drum/waste toner motor [B] drives the OPC drum [A] through gears and the drum drive shaft [C].
Drum Charge
Charging to the drum is performed by the charge roller [B]. The charge roller always contacts the surface of the
drum and applies a charge bias.
A power pack applies the bias to the charge roller via a receptacle and electrode terminal. Dirt can easily adhere to
the charge roller because the roller always contacts to the drum with the pressure spring. Therefore, the brush
roller [A] is in contact with the charge roller for cleaning.
