PHOTOCOPY MACHINE

摘要

An apparatus for making photocopies is disclosed with a photoconductor belt adapted to move around a roller assembly with a cartridge which contains belt replacement segments. The roller assembly meshes with the cartridge to enable rapid continuous movement of the photoconductor which passes a flat region where the belt receives a flash exposure of an object. A mechanism and method for continually replacing the photoconductor belt with incremental fresh segments from the cartridge is described to provide gradual replacement thereof with a long effective usable lifetime for the photoconductor belt and cartridge assembly.
