C. Grounding Roller
The potential on the transfer belt differs between areas in contactwith copy paper and areas not in con-
tact. To maintain an even potential and, thereby, to increase the efficiency of cleaning performed in the next
step, the belt is grounded by means of a grounding roller.
D. Static Eliminator
The transfer belt after separation of copy paper holds residual charges that occur during transfer. The
static eliminator is used to remove* charges from the transfer belt preparing for retention and transfer for
the next copying run.
*Actually, by applying negative charges.
