Abstract
A non-resilient belt tensioning mechanism monitors and maintains tension in a photoreceptor belt. The belt tensioning mechanism causes one of at least a pair of rollers, around which a photoreceptor belt is entrained, to exert pressure against the photoreceptor belt to apply and maintain substantially constant tension in the belt.
