  • Page 56: Phaser 6180 Printer Operational Overview

    Theory of Operation Phaser 6180 Printer Operational Overview The Phaser 6180 Color Laser Printer is a full-color laser printer that uses Raster Output Scanner (ROS) lasers with an electrophotographic four-color CMYK process. The tandem system consists of four color print cartridges (C, M, Y, and K) which creates the toner image.

  • Page 57: Printing Process

    Theory of Operation Printing Process The Phaser 6180 Printer print process consists of the following steps: Charging – The Drum surfaces are charged with electricity. Exposure – The Drums are exposed to laser beams. Development – Image is developed with toner.

  • Page 58: Charging

    The Drum surface is a photoreceptor (which is an insulator in a dark area and a conductor when receiving light) and the Drum inside is composed of conductor. The BCR Cleaner contacts with the BCR to catch the toner. Photoreceptor Conductor Cleaning Roll Drum HVPS s6180-135 Phaser 6180 Color Laser Printer Service Manual...
