RECORDING SECTION
Next, let’s explain each step in a little more detail.
• Primary charging step
DC
bias and
AC
bias of several thousand volts is applied to the primary
charging roller. As the electrical potential of the photosensitive drum is
higher than that of the primary charging roller, the negative electrical
charge that was generated on the primary charging roller moves to the pho-
tosensitive drum.
This charging method is called “roller charging” because of the fact that
the photosensitive drum is charged by the primary charging roller. The AC
bias functions to maintain the electrical potential of the negative electrical
charge on the photosensitive drum at an uniform value. The DC bias
changes proportionately to the DC bias applied to the developing cylinder.

Photosensitive drum
The photosensitive drum is an important component in forming images,
and comprises a photosensitive layer and an aluminum substrate. Gener-
ally, an OPC (Organic Photo Conductor) is used as the photosensitive
layer. This OPC comprises a CTL (Carrier Transport Layer) and a CGL
(Carrier Generation Layer). When light strikes the photosensitive drum,
positive and negative electrical charges are generated in the CTL, and the
CGL carries only the positive electrical charge to the surface of the photo-
sensitive drum.
