Abstract
A copy paper transporting unit is combined with a corona transfer station in a support member which is mounted for lateral withdrawal from the interior of an electrophotographic copying machine. The transporting unit is made in two sections which are separable once the support member is withdrawn from the machines to permit easy access in case of a paper jam. The transfer station has a corona-generating device held in an active position close to the photosensitive member from which it transfers toned images (or latent images) to a sheet of copy paper. The corona-generating device is movably supported on the support member so that prior to withdrawal it can be retracted from its active position to prevent damage to the photosensitive member by any jammed paper. The arrangement includes a lock member preventing withdrawal of the support member prior to retraction of the corona-generating device.
