Toshiba e-STUDIO520 Service Manual page 84

Separation:
The paper is absorbed to the belt and separated from the drum by the electrostatic attraction act-
ing between the belt (plus charge) and the polarization charge (minus charge) on the bottom sur-
face of the paper.
Reference
• Combined use of transfer belt and separation
finger
To prevent the copy paper from failing to be
separated during the operation, due to incom-
plete transfer belt charging or absorption of
moisture, and thus jamming up the cleaner, a
separation finger mechanically separates any
copy paper which fails to be separated.
