Image Transfer Belt Cleaner Contact And Release - MINOLTA-QMS Magicolor 2200 Series Manual

5-9 Image transfer belt cleaner contact and release

When there is a toner image on the image transfer belt, the image transfer belt cleaner is released from the image trans-
fer belt.
To release the image belt cleaner, the belt cleaner motor (M12) is set on and the cam is turned, pushing down the cleaner
lever. This pushes down the section shown as "A" in the illustration below, releasing the image transfer belt cleaner
from the image transfer belt. Conversely, contact is made by setting the belt cleaner motor to on and rotating the cam.
This releases the cleaner lever, applying pressure to the image transfer belt cleaner.
• The shield blades of the sensor are rotated, and the release of the image transfer belt cleaner is detected when the belt
cleaner separation position sensor is set off.
• Contact of the image transfer belt cleaner is made during one cycle of the belt after the image has been transferred to
the paper.
