8.4 PAPER DISCHARGE
Normal Paper Thick Paper Duplex: Face Duplex: Back
4000 V 3500 V 4000 V 4000 V
The high voltage supply board -D [A] applies ac voltage to the discharge
plate [B]. The discharge plate removes any charge remaining on the paper
[C] to separate the paper from the transfer belt.
To perform an accurate discharge, the output of the discharge plate differs
with the copy mode or paper being used. For OHP mode, discharge is not
performed because the OHP sheet separates from the transfer belt as a
result of its stiffness.
