Printing Process

Overview
1. Drum Charge: The charge roller gives the drum a negative charge.
2. Laser Exposure: A laser beam writes the print data on the drum.
3. Development: The development roller moves toner to the latent image on the drum surface.
4. Image Transfer: The transfer roller moves the toner from the drum to the paper.
5. Separation: The separation plate helps to remove the paper from the drum.
6. Cleaning: The cleaning blade removes remaining toner on the drum surface after the image moved
to the paper.
7. Quenching: The light from the quenching lamp cancels the charge that stays on the drum.
