The pre-transfer charging bias is applied to the toner on the photosensitive drum when development is performed in order to align the electric potential for the toner
layer formed on the ITB.
The pre-transfer charging bias provides two types of biases; pre-transfer charging DC bias and pre-transfer charging AC bias.
These biases are created in the high voltage PCB 1 based on an instruction by the DC controller, and applied to the pre-transfer charging wire.
