Page 92: Paper Feed Unit
SYSTEM LAYOUT 20 July 2005 6.3.1 PAPER FEED UNIT The paper feed unit consists of the following. • Standard paper tray unit • Optional paper feed unit • By-pass tray Paper Separation Method Individual sheets get separated in the paper feed unit with the friction pad method. Paper passes over a spring loaded friction pad that separates the sheets of paper when paper gets fed into the machine. -
Page 93: Transfer Unit
20 July 2005 SYSTEM LAYOUT 6.3.2 TRANSFER UNIT A PTL (Pre-transfer Lamp) and a transfer roller move toner from the OPC drum onto the paper. The PTL shines light onto the OPC. This reduces the electrical charge on the surface of the OPC drum and improves the transfer efficiency. The transfer roller moves toner from the OPC drum to the paper. -
