Xerographic transfer station using a belt

摘要

An electrostatographic printing apparatus comprises a charge receptor (10), and a transfer station for transferring a toner image from the charge receptor (10) to a sheet (S). The sheet passes through a nip formed between the charge receptor (10) and a moving transfer belt (30). Upstream of the nip, the belt (30) forms a shallow angle relative to the charge receptor (10), downstream of the nip, the belt (30) forms a steep angle relative to the charge receptor (10). This configuration enables self-stripping of the sheet from the transfer belt at the exit of the nip.
