PAPER SEPARATOR FINGERS16
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 physically 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.

The Paper Separator Fingers are also moved over a given distance to the front and
rear so that they will contact wider areas of the surface of the PC Drum, thus
preventing localized damage to the PC Drum surface. This lateral movement is
done by the Lever connected to the Cleaning Blade and, when the Cleaning Blade
is moved, the Separator Fingers are also moved back and forth.
