  • Page 152: Drum Surface Potential

    (3-2) Drum surface potential The laser beam is continually switched on and off depending on the print data. It is on for a black (exposed) dot and off for a white (blank) dot. Since the drum surface is evenly charged, whenever it is illuminated by the laser beam, the electrical resistance of the photoconductor is reduced and the potential on the photoconductor is also lowered.

  • Page 153: Development

    (4) Development The latent image constituted on the drum is developed into a visible image. The developing roller A contains a 3-pole (S-N-S) magnet core B and an aluminum cylinder rotating around the magnet core B. Toner attracts to the developing roller A since it is powdery ink made of black resin bound to iron particles.

  • Page 154: Transfer

    (5) Transfer The image developed by toner on the drum A is transferred onto the paper because of the electrical attraction between the toner itself and the transfer roller B. The transfer roller is negatively biased so that the positively charged toner is attracted onto the paper while it is pinched by the drum and the transfer roller.
