• A DC positive voltage is applied to the backside of the paper, thereby
allowing the visible, developed image on the surface of the transfer
belt to be transferred onto the paper.
• The paper, which has undergone the 2nd image transfer process, is
neutralized so that it can be properly separated from the transfer belt
by the paper separator claws.
• Residual toner on the surface of the transfer belt is collected for
cleaning by cleaning blade.
• The surface of the photo conductor is irradiated with light, which neu-
tralizes any surface potential remaining on the surface of the photo
conductor.
• The residual toner left on the surface of the photo conductor is
scraped off.
• The visible toner image transferred onto the surface of the paper is
melted by the heat of the fusing roller and fixed to the paper by pres-
sure.
• The 1-sided printed paper, on which the image of the first page of the
original is printed, is turned over and fed back into the main body for
the print cycle of the second page of the original.
• The paper, for which the toner image has been properly fixed, is fed
out onto the exit tray.
• For two-sided printing, the 1-sided printed paper is transported onto
the duplex unit.
