Abstract
An apparatus for enhancing contact between a copy sheet and a developed image positioned on a photoconductive member includes a cam movable between a first position and a second position. The apparatus further includes a mechanism for moving the cam between its first position and its second position. Additionally, the apparatus includes a contact member being spaced apart from the copy sheet in a first mode of operation and being in contact with the copy sheet in a second mode of operation. Moreover, the apparatus includes a mechanism for positioning the contact member in its first mode of operation in response to the cam being moved to its first position, and in its second mode of operation in response to the cam being moved to its second position.
