8.1 PRE-TRANSFER DISCHARGE
The pre-transfer corona (PTC) [A] and pre-transfer lamp (PTL) [B] are used
to prevent incomplete toner transfer and pick-off pawl marks on the copy.
To prevent incomplete toner transfer, the PTC reduces drum potential by
applying an ac corona. The PTC also applies a dc negative charge at the
same time to keep the toner potential negative.
The PTL further reduces the drum potential. Since the PTC gave a negative
charge not only to the toner but also to the non image (no toner) area on the
drum, PTL reduces the negative charge on the drum which may attract copy
paper and cause pick-off pawl marks.
