Abstract
A photoreceptor module for an electrophotographic device that includes a tension roller, a photoreceptor belt, which wraps around a plurality of backing members and the tension roller, and a rotatable handle. When the handle is in a first position it engages at least one other module within the device to maintain proper spacing between the at least one other module and the photoreceptor module. When the handle is in a second position, the tension roller is retracted so that the belt may be removed more easily.
