Grounding of the PC Drum

• The ground contact (Ground Plate) of the PC Drum is located on the inside on its left-
hand side. It remains in contact with the drum shaft at all times. When the Imaging Unit is
loaded in the copier, the drum shaft comes into contact with the Ground Plate of the PC
Drum. The potential on the surface of the PC Drum exposed to the laser beam is then
grounded through the Ground Plate to the frame of the copier.
