IMAGE TRANSFER AND SEPARATION

1. Image Transfer

The relay rollers feed the copy paper through the transfer entrance guides to the transfer section. A
high negative voltage is applied to the transfer corona wire, and as a result the corona wire generates
a cloud of negative ions.
attracts the positively charged toner away from the master and onto the paper.
If damp paper is used, it will reduce the efficiency of transfer.
paper is lower than that of dry paper.
So, part of the transfer corona charge may leak to the machine ground or across the paper to the
master.
This will reduce the effectiveness of the transfer process which results
