In this step, DC negative bias is applied to the static eliminator according to the elasticity of papers to separate the papers from the photosensitive drum. The static
eliminator is used to stabilize the paper feed system (prevention of toner stray that appears as polka-dots on print images in a low-temperature, low-humidity envi-
ronment), and neutralizes the electric charge at the back of papers.
2.4.1.6 Fixing Block
LBP3100 / LBP3010B
This block applies pressure and heat to papers and the toner on them to fix toner images to the papers.
Step 6: Fixing
This step employs on-demand fixing that fixes toner images transferred to papers on the papers.
2.4.1.7 Drum Cleaning Block
LBP3100 / LBP3010B
The drum cleaning block removes the toner remained on the photosensitive drum.
Step 7: Drum cleaning
In this step, toner remained on the photosensitive drum is removed.
The cleaning blade scrapes the leftover toner on the surface of the photosensitive drum; the toner is collected into the cleaner container.
By implementing the above step, the surface of the photosensitive drum is cleaned.
