    CHAPTER I FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES This printer has the following features: 1200dpi Resolution and 10ppm Printing Speed 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and ten pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter size paper). The printer also supports 1200 (H) x 600 (V) dots per inch (dpi) resolution for Windows DIB graphics.
  • Page 8 Low Running Cost: The toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit. You need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 2,200 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly. Remote Printer Console Program for DOS The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the floppy disk supplied with your printer.

The surface potential of the exposed area is reduced forming the electrostatic image to be printed.

  • Page 38: Developing

    2.5.3 Developing Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of conductive rubber and the supply roller which is also made of conductive sponge rotate against each other.

  • Page 39: 2.5.5 Drum Cleaning Stage

    2.5.5 Drum Cleaning Stage In the image transfer stage, not all the toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto the paper but some remains on the drum. In the drum cleaning stage, the drum surface is cleaned by the cleaning roller, so that residual toner on the drum surface is removed and collected on the cleaning roller itself.
