Developing process (Step 3)

In the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum, the non-image section is negatively charged
and the image section is neutralized. When toner, that is, negatively charged is brought close to the photo-
sensitivity drum, toner is attracted to the image section on the drum by the potential difference with the
developing bias and becomes visible. This process is called developing.
