Image Transfer and Paper Separation
The transfer roller contacts the drum.
A positive charge is applied to the transfer roller as paper passes between it and the
drum, attracting the image from the drum to the paper.
Drum curvature and the discharge plate separate the paper from the drum. Pick-off
pawls prevent paper from wrapping around the drum.

The transfer current depends on the paper width, paper type, and paper feed
tray.
