12. DEVELOPER UNIT

12.1 General Description

In this equipment, the three color developers (Y, M and C) are installed in the revolver unit and the black developer is installed independently separated from the revolver unit. This special structure ensures the improved printing productivity at the Black Mode. When developing color images (Y, M or C), the black developer unit escapes contacting with the drum. When developing black images, each color developer unit escapes from the drum by rotating the revolver and the black developer unit contacts with the drum instead.

The developer motor drives the lifting movement and magnet roller rotation of the black developer unit, and also the toner supply and magnet roller rotation of the color developer unit. Chapter 9 in this manual describes more.
