11. PAPER TRANSPORT

11.1 OVERVIEW

When the copy paper separates from the drum, it is advanced by the transport belt [A] to the
fusing unit.
A vacuum fan [B] holds the paper firmly against the belt. The gear [C] drives the transport
belt. There is no clutch, so the gear turns whenever the main motor is on.
