Copy materials with good insulating properties acquire a high static charge during
the image transfer step. When the film is separated quickly from the drum by the
separation belt, the distribution of this charge may change, disturbing the pattern
of particles of the developed image on the other side. To prevent this, static
charge eliminators are located before and after the transfer corona. The finished
copy to be delivered contains a strong electric charge. The residual charge is
removed through contact with a brush made of conductive carbon fibers at the deli-
very port.
(8) Drum cleaning.
The purpose of the
drum cleaning is to remove any developer powder that may remain
the next copy cycle. Any developer remaining on the drum is
on the drum before
scraped off by the
cleaner blade, and collected by a magnetic roller and iron
roller. The toner
removed is then pushed up to the waste developer receptacle.
