CHAPTER 2 NEW FUNCTIONS
d. Polishing Roller
The polishing roller polishes the surface of the transfer belt to limit the friction against the
cleaning blade, thereby preventing the otherwise possible bending of the blade.
As more and more images are formed, toner and paper lint tend to build up,
increasing the friction against the cleaning blade.
REF.
The polishing operation takes place at the end of image position correction for an equiva-
lent of 2 rotations of the transfer belt.
When the polishing/oil removing motor (M15) starts to rotate, the transfer belt rotates and
moves against the transfer belt.
The polishing roller is moved down when the transfer belt moves down (lifter operation),
at the end of which it becomes released.
