Grounding Roller; Static Eliminator - Canon 1000 Service Manual

2. COPYING PROCESS
C. Grounding Roller
The potential on the transfer belt differs between areas in contact with paper and areas not in contact.
To maintain an even potential and, thereby, to increase the efficiency of cleaning performed in the next step,
the belt is grounded by means of a grounding roller.
D. Static Eliminator
The transfer belt after separation of paper holds residual charges that occur during transfer. The static
eliminator is used to remove* charges from the transfer belt preparing for retention and transfer for the next
copying run.
*Actually, by applying negative charges.
