Abstract

A printer or copier has a toner transfer belt which is moved into an out of engagement with a transfer printing area. The toner transfer belt is carried on an arrangement of rollers that maintain a constant tension on the toner transfer belt. Rigid linking levers extend between the rollers of the roller arrangement so that belt tension is maintained by movement of compensation rollers, outward while moving a transfer roller upward, for example.
