1. PC Drum
The PC Drum is an aluminum cylinder coated with a photosensitive semiconductor.
It is used as the medium on which a visible developed image of the original is formed.
(For more details, see "6. PC DRUM".)
2. Drum Charging
The PC Drum Charge Corona Unit is equipped with a Comb Electrode and a Scorotron
Grid to deposit a uniform negative charge across the entire surface of the PC Drum.
(For more details, see "7. DRUM CHARGING".)
3. Image Erase
Any areas of charge which are not to be developed are neutralized by lighting up LEDs.
(For more details, see "8. IMAGE ERASE LAMP".)
4. Exposure
Light from the Exposure Lamp reflected off the original is guided to the surface of the PC
Drum and reduces the level of the negative charges, thereby forming an electrostatic
latent image.
(For more details, see "9. OPTICAL SECTION".)
5. Developing
Toner positively charged in the Developer Mixing Chamber is attracted onto the electro-
static latent image changing it to a visible, developed image. A DC negative bias voltage is
applied to the Sleeve/Magnet Roller to prevent toner from being attracted onto those areas
of the PC Drum which correspond to the background areas of the original.
(For more details, see "11. DEVELOPMENT".)

6. Paper Feeding
Paper is fed either automatically from the 1st or 2nd Drawer, or manually via the Multi
Bypass Table or Manual Bypass Table. Each Drawer has fingers that function to separate
the top sheet of paper from the rest at take-up. (2nd Drawer: 23 cpm Copier Only)
(For more details, see "13. PAPER TAKE-UP/FEED SECTION".)
7. Image Transfer
The single-wire Image Transfer Corona Unit applies a DC negative corona emission to the
underside of the paper, thereby attracting toner onto the surface of the paper.
(For more details, see "16. IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION".)
8. Paper Separation
The single-wire Paper Separator Corona Unit applies an AC corona emission to the
underside of the paper to neutralize the paper. In addition, mechanical paper separation is
provided by the two PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers fitted to the Imaging Unit.
(For more details, see "16. IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION".)
9. Cleaning
Residual toner on the surface of the PC Drum is scraped off by the Cleaning Blade.
(For more details, see "19. CLEANING UNIT".)
10. Main Erase
Light from the Main Erase Lamp neutralizes any surface potential remaining on the sur-
face of the PC Drum after cleaning.
(For more details, see "17. MAIN ERASE LAMP".)
11. Transport
The paper is fed to the Fusing Unit by the Suction Belts.
(For more details, see "20. PAPER TRANSPORT".)
12. Fusing
The developed image is permanently fused to the paper by a combination of heat and
pressure applied by the Upper and Lower Fusing Rollers.
(For more details, see "21. FUSING UNIT".)
13. Paper Exit
After the fusing process the paper is fed out by the Paper Exit Roller onto the Copy Tray.
(For more details, see "22. EXIT UNIT".)

3 DRIVE SYSTEM
This copier is equipped with two main drive motors, the PC Drive Motor that drives the
upper half of the copier (Imaging Unit) and the Main Drive Motor which gives drive for the
lower half of the copier (paper take-up/feeding, transport mechanism and Fusing Unit).
Each has its own drive transmitting gears and timing belts as illustrated below.
