Abstract
A reproduction apparatus has a flexible photoconductor that is moved along an endless path and past a development station for developing latent images on one surface of the photoconductor. A back-up roller is adjacent the other surface of the photoconductor. A mechanism urges the roller against the photoconductor to move it toward the station in response to insertion of the station into the reproduction apparatus. The mechanism has arms alongside the path of the photoconductor that are engageable with stops on the station to precisely locate the roller, and thus the photoconductor, relative to the station.
