Abstract
A belt-type photocopy machine in which the belt assembly is disconnectable from the belt drive and withdrawable to an external location for replacement of the belt. The belt is seamed, but the removable assembly contains belt-position-defining elements with which the seam in the belt is aligned during replacement, and the machine's copy sequence controls cooperate with the position-defining elements through synchronizing means upon reinsertion of the belt assembly so that coordination of the sequence controls and the belt position is achieved regardless of the relative positions of the belt and the sequence controls subsequent to reinsertion.
