IDC Sensor Shutter mechanism

• The IDC Sensor can be contaminated with toner since it is located under the Transfer
Belt. There is a shutter mechanism provided for the sensor to prevent it from being con-
taminated.
• The shutter opens and closes in synchronism with the pressure and retraction motion of
the 2nd Image Transfer Roller. When the 2nd Image Transfer Roller is retracted from the
Transfer Belt, the Pressure Pin pushes the Shutter Holder. This moves the Shutter at the
IDC Sensor to the front side.
• When the 2nd Image Transfer Roller is pressed against the Transfer Belt, on the other
hand, the Shutter of the IDC Sensor is moved by a spring force to the rear side and
closed.
