Abstract

A method of removing a photosensitive belt of a printing apparatus from rollers of a belt unit. In this method, since the photosensitive belt is circulated with at least one roller slanted with respect to the others so that the photosensitive belt moves in a lengthwise direction of the rollers and part of the photosensitive belt is projected through the belt passage, and then the photosensitive belt is removed by pulling the portion projected through the belt passage, the worker can remove the photosensitive belt without a separate removing device and damage of parts in the printing apparatus and an accident due to carelessness can be fundamentally prevented.
