A positive charge applied to the back of the paper attracts the negatively charged toner particles
to the paper. The printer accomplishes transfer by using the charging roller method. Advantages
compared with the corona transfer method are as follows:
• Low transfer voltage that is less than half that for corona transfer.
• Less ozone generation.
• The paper is supported by the transfer charging roller and photosensitive drum, so feed is
more stable.
Reference:
If the image on the photosensitive drum is not completely transferred to the paper due to
jamming, etc., the toner may adhere to the transfer charging roller. The printer removes the toner
from the transfer charging roller by switching the transfer voltage between positive and negative
in sequence. During wait, initial rotation, and last rotation, the printer sets the primary DC voltage
to zero, and sets the charge on the drum to zero. In this case, the transfer voltage is made
negative to remove the negatively-charged toner on the transfer charging roller to the drum. The
transfer charging roller is thus cleaned.
3.2.3 Transfer stage
In the transfer stage, the toner image is transferred from the drum surface to the paper.

The stiffness of the paper causes it to separate from the drum. (Curvature separation)
To stabilize the paper feed and prevent small white circles from appearing in the printed image
at low temperature and humidity, the charge on the back of the paper is reduced by the static
charge eliminator after transfer.
