ITB cleaning The cleaning blade in the ITB cleaner scrapes the residual toner off the ITB surface. The residual toner feed screw deposits the residual toner to the residual toner feed unit. The ITB motor and the residual toner feed motor drive the screw. The DC control detects whether the toner collection box is full, using the residual-toner full sensor, and then notifies the formatter. Figure 1-28 ITB cleaning process Cleaning blade ITB cleaner ITB motor M1 Residual toner feed screw M12 Residual toner feed motor ITB Residual toner feed unit DC controller Residual toner full sensor Toner collection box Calibration The product calibrates itself to maintain excellent print quality. Calibration corrects color-misregistration and color-density variation. During calibration, the product places a specific pattern of toner on the surface of the ITB. Sensors at the end of the ITB read the toner pattern to determine if adjustments are necessary. NOTE: The product performs a drum-speed adjustment (DSA) during the full calibration operation. The DSA compensates for variations between each drum and the speed of the ITB surface. ENWW Image-formation system 37

ITB cleaning

The cleaning blade in the ITB cleaner scrapes the residual toner off the ITB surface. The residual toner

feed screw deposits the residual toner to the residual toner feed unit. The ITB motor and the residual

toner feed motor drive the screw. The DC control detects whether the toner collection box is full, using

the residual-toner full sensor, and then notifies the formatter.

Calibration

The product calibrates itself to maintain excellent print quality. Calibration corrects color-misregistration

and color-density variation.

During calibration, the product places a specific pattern of toner on the surface of the ITB. Sensors at

the end of the ITB read the toner pattern to determine if adjustments are necessary.

NOTE:

The product performs a drum-speed adjustment (DSA) during the full calibration operation.

The DSA compensates for variations between each drum and the speed of the ITB surface.
