10. PC Drum

10.3 Operation

• The PC Drum used in this copier is the organic photoconductor (OPC).
• The drum is a lamination of the Charge Transport Layer and Charge Generating Layer
coating an aluminum alloy base.
Handling Precaution
• The PC Drum of this type exhibits light fatigue after being exposed to light for a
long time, which results in its sensitivity being changed. Always, therefore, wrap
the drum in the PC Drum Cloth or a soft cloth immediately after it has been
removed from the copier. Utmost care should also be used when handling the PC
Drum to ensure that its surface is not contaminated.
