PAPER TRANSPORT

[B
The copy paper rides on the transport belt [A] to the fusing unit [B].
A vacuum fan [C] holds the paper firmly against the belt so there is enough
friction between the paper and the belt for smooth transportation. The
transport belt is directly gear driven (no clutch); so, it turns constantly when
the main motor is on.
The front part of the transport unit is hinged and can be pressed down for
easy jam removal.
