2nd Transfer Roller Cleaning
■ Imaging Unit positive and negative transfer bias voltages are alternately applied to the 2nd
Transfer Roller. This allows toner residue on the surface of the 2nd Transfer Roller to be
transferred back to the Transfer Belt, thus cleaning the 2nd Transfer Roller.
■ The toner transferred back to the Transfer Belt is collected by the Cleaning Blade.
