Transfer assembly of electrophotographic printer.

摘要

A transfer assembly of an electrophotographic printer includes a photoconductor drum (7), a charger (8) disposed against the photoconductor drum for charging a surface of the photoconductor drum, an exposure unit (9) for exposing the charged photoconductor drum to form an electrostatic latent image thereon, a developer unit (6) disposed against the photoconductor drum for providing adhesion of a toner to the electrostatic latent image to form a toner image, a transfer unit (10) disposed against the photoconductor drum for transferring the toner image to a medium, and a fuser (12a, 12b) for fixing the transferred toner image on the medium. In such an assembly, a part of the transfer unit, which first touches the medium to which the toner image has been transferred, is provided with a conductive material (21) adapted to provide a gradual discharge of electric charge on the medium. <IMAGE>
