Laser-beam exposure An invisible latent image forms [...]

Step 1: Pre-exposure Light from the pre-exposure LED strikes the surface of the photosensitive drum to remove any residual electrical charges from the drum surface. Figure 1-11 Pre-exposure Step 2: Primary charging The primary-charging roller contacts the photose nsitive drum and charges the drum with negative potential. Figure 1-12 Primary chargin[...]

Step 3: Laser-beam exposure The laser beam strikes the surface of the photosensi tive drum in the areas where the image will form. The negative charge neutralizes in those ar eas, which are then ready to accept toner. Figure 1-13 Laser-beam exposure Step 4: Development Toner acquires a negative charge as the developing cylinder contacts the develop[...]

Step 5: Primary transfer The positively charged primary-transfer rollers contac t the ITB, giving the ITB a positive charge. The ITB attracts the negatively charged toner from the surf ace of each photosensitive drum, and the complete toner image transfers onto the ITB, beginning with yellow, followed by magenta, cyan, and black. Figure 1-15 Primar[...]

Step 7: Separation The stiffness of the paper causes it to separate fr om the ITB as the ITB bends. The static-charge eliminator removes excess charge from the pape r to ensure that the toner fuses correctly. Figure 1-17 Separation Step 8: Fusing To create the permanent image, the paper passes thro ugh heated, pressurized rollers to melt the toner [...]

Step 9: ITB cleaning The cleaning blade scrapes the residual toner off the surface of the ITB. The residual toner feed screw deposits residual toner in the toner collection box.
