Figure 5-18 Secondary transfer roller unit ITB unit contact/separation unit Normally, the intermediate transfer belt is separated from the photosensitive drum. This operation presses the belt against the drum by moving the ITB unit contact lever at the beginning of print operation. When the fusing unit temperature reaches the print temperature at the beginning of the print operation, the DC controller turns the ITB unit contact/separation clutch (CL2) on. Once the ITB contact/separation clutch is on, the ITB unit contact/separation cam pushes on the ITB contact/ separation lever. This causes the lever to lift up on the ITB until it comes into contact with the photosensitive drum. The ITB will stay engaged with the drum throughout the transfer process. Once the entire print job is complete and CL3 and CL4 have been deactivated, the DC controller turns CL2 off and the ITB is lowered away from the photosensitive drum. 116 Theory of operation C7085-90921
