Steps
Process
Description
1
Charging
Charges the surface of the PC drum with static electricity.
A rayon brush is used.
2
Exposure
The laser beam emitted from the laser unit produces an
electrostatic latent image on the surface of the PC drum.
3
Development
Toner is fed through the sleeve roller to the surface of the PC
drum to produce a visible toner image.
4
Transfer
The transfer roller transfers the toner image from the surface
of the PC drum onto the paper, using an electrical charge
applied from the transfer roller.
5
Separating
The electrode discharges the paper to separate it from the
drum.
6
Fusing
Toner image is fixed on the paper with heat and pressure.
7
Cleaning
The cleaning blade clears toner off the PC drum and transfer
roller.
Figure 2-1 shows the locations and name of the main engine components and the paper paths.
