ABSTRACT:
An OPC belt is adapted for use in an EP printer which employs parallel drive rollers to move the OPC belt. A package for the OPC belt includes an outer package member that is shaped to be insertable over a used OPC belt on the drive rollers. The outer package member includes grippers which engage the used OPC belt once the outer package member is inserted over the used belt. The grippers maintain engagement with the used OPC belt as the outer package member is withdrawn from engagement with the drive rollers. The used OPC belt is thus removed from the drive rollers while still positioned within the outer package member. An inner package member is shaped to fit within the outer package member and holds a replacement OPC belt. The inner package member is insertable over the drive rollers to position the replacement OPC belt thereover. The inner package member is sized to be removable from engagement with the drive rollers when roller tension is increased on the replacement OPC belt.
