IDC sensor shutter mechanism

• The IDC sensor can be contaminated with toner since it is located under the transfer belt.
There is a shutter mechanism provided for the sensor to prevent it from being contami-
nated.
• The shutter opens and closes in synchronism with the pressure and retraction motion of
the 2nd image transfer roller.
• The cam will press the pressure lever to open the shutter on the IDC sensor during
retraction.
• The cam will press the pressure lever to close the shutter on the IDC sensor while the
roller is pressing.
