6.10 Transfer belt cleaning (Sub step 3)
A transfer belt that has completed the 2nd transfer has a residual amount of toner that is left from the trans-
fer process. The process to remove toner is referred to as a transfer belt cleaning.
A transfer belt cleaning is made by scraping toner adhered to the drum surface with the edge of a plate
called a blade that is made of urethane rubber.
6.11 2nd transfer roller /L cleaning (Sub step 4)
Residual toner on the transfer belt is in direct contact with the 2nd transfer roller /L. As a result, the 2nd
transfer roller /L may be coated with toner.
So, the 2nd transfer roller /U is applied with a positive and a negative high DC bias voltage alternately to
move toner on the 2nd transfer roller /L to the transfer belt side. The toner on the transfer belt that has
been moved is cleaned by the transfer belt cleaning mentioned above.
