Photoconductor Unit
The toner images of each color developed on the drum surface are transferred
to the IBT Belt one color at a time from 1st BTR, and the full color toner
image is formed by overlaying the four colors. The full color toner image is
transferred to paper by positively charging the paper with the 2nd BTR.
Toner remaining on the Belt surface is collected in the Waste Toner Box by
the Cleaning Blade and brush in the Belt Cleaner.
The Drum is made of conductive material (aluminum cylinder) coated with a
photosensitive material which becomes insulating material in darkness and
becomes conductive when it is subjected to light. The Drum Cleaner consists
of a Cleaning Blade and Waste Toner Box, and scrapes off toner remaining on
the drum surface by the Cleaning Blade that contacts with the drum.The
Waste Toner Box contains an actuator for SENSOR TNER FULL. This
actuator operates as the amount of collected waste toner increases to block
light entering the sensor to detect a full toner state.
The 1st BTR is a conductive roller, and is charged positively by the HVPS.
The 1st BTR contacts the back side of the belt to positively charge it.
Specific data relating to Photoconductor Unit is stored in CRUM XERO.
