Separation and Transport

Transfer Roller

The paper transfer roller [A] is always pressed against the image transfer belt by pressure from a transfer pressure spring. The paper transfer roller moves the toner image from the transfer belt to the paper. When the transfer belt rotates, the paper transfer roller also rotates.

Paper Transfer Bias

The high voltage power supply (HVPS) supplies electricity to the transfer roller. The transfer roller is positively charged.

Discharge Plate

The transfer unit has a discharge plate [C] above the paper transfer roller. The discharge plate removes charge that was applied to the paper during paper transfer. This helps paper move away from the paper transfer roller. The discharge plate [C] is grounded to GND via the resistor.
