6.10.2 TRANSFER BELT LIFT

Mechanism
The transfer belt lift solenoid [A] lifts the belt into contact with the drum using the
link [B], which is connected to the front [C] and rear [D] belt lift levers.
Springs attached to the front of the solenoid reduce the load on the solenoid as it
lifts the drum.
This mechanism raises the transfer belt unit against the OPC drum only when
needed, and keeps it separated at all other times because:
• The transfer belt is between the drum unit and the ID sensor, so it would rub off
the ID sensor pattern if it remained in contact with the drum.
• Allowing toner to transfer to the belt when making sensor patterns would
increase the load on the transfer roller cleaning blade.
• The transfer belt would cause the drum to wear, if it were allowed to remain in
contact with the drum.
