16. IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION SEC-
TION
Image Transfer
• A positive charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to transfer the toner image
formed on the surface of the PC Drum onto the paper.
• The charge applied to the Image Transfer Roller is varied according to the following con-
ditions to ensure that image transfer efficiency is stabilized.
Paper Type: The amount of charge is made less for OHP transparencies.
Paper width: The greater the paper width, the more the amount of charge.
B/W ratio of the image: The higher the B/W ratio, the more the amount of charge.
• A negative charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to return toner sticking to the
Image Transfer Roller to the PC Drum. It is performed in the following timings:
• A copy cycle is started and completed, The Power Switch is turned ON, A misfeed or a
malfunction is reset.
Paper Separation
• The PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers mechanically separate paper from the surface of
the PC Drum to ensure good and positive paper separation.
• The Charge Neutralizing Plate is used to neutralize any charge left on the paper, to which
image has been transferred, thereby preventing discharge noise that occurs when paper
is separated.
