PAPER SEPARATOR FINGERS

After image transfer, an AC corona emission is applied to the underside of the paper by
the Paper Separator Corona to neutralize the paper so that it can be easily separated
from the PC Drum. To further ensure that the paper is positively separated from the PC
Drum, there are two Paper Separator Fingers attached to the Imaging Unit. They physi-
cally peel the paper off the surface of the PC Drum.
To prevent the Paper Separator Fingers from damaging the surface of the PC Drum, they
are kept in the retracted position whenever they are not at work. As illustrated below, the
Fingers are brought into contact with, and retracted from, the surface of the PC Drum
by the Lever which is operated by Separator Solenoid SL1.
