8.6 TRANSPORT UNIT

A171D608.img
Four transport belts are used to transport the copied paper to the fusing
section. The vacuum fan sucks the air through the holes on the transport unit
to hold the paper on the transport belts.
The transport unit is pushed up and locked into position by the front and rear
guide rollers. Turning the transport unit release lever to the left releases the
lock and lowers the unit to clear paper jams.
If ozone produced by the corona charges stays in the drum area, it may
cause uneven corona charging or affect drum sensitivity causing poor image
problems.
The vacuum fan sucks the ozone through the air duct and transports it to the
ozone filter. Ozone is changed to oxygen by the filter and blown outside the
copier.
