4600-830, -835, -895 Charge Charge roller Photoconductor drum A uniform negative electrical charge is applied by the charge roller to the surface of the photoconductor drum. The photoconductive properties of the surface material allow it to hold the charge as long as it is not exposed to light.
Page 292
4600-830, -835, -895 Expose Photoconductor drum Printhead The printhead emits the light that contacts the surface of the photoconductor drum. The light turns on or off coinciding with the digital latent image. The light causes areas of the photoconductor drum surface to lose charge, resulting in a relative opposite polarity.
Page 293
4600-830, -835, -895 Develop Developer roller Toner cartridge Photoconductor drum The developer unit applies the toner from the toner cartridge to the photoconductor drum. The difference in charge causes the toner particles to attract to the photoconductor drum areas which are exposed to light. Theory of operation...

4600-830, -835, -895 Transfer Charge roller Transfer roller Paper The transfer roller applies a positive charge to the paper, which is pressed between the transfer roller and the photoconductor drum. Due to relative opposite polarities between the paper, from the transfer roller, and the photoconductor drum, from the charge roller, the charge attracts the toner onto the paper.
Page 295
4600-830, -835, -895 Fuse Fuser Paper Even if the toner image is already on the paper, the toner particles are not yet permanently bonded to the surface. For the final part of printing, the paper is transported to the fuser where heat and pressure are applied to it.

The separator roller feeds the paper to the second input roller, which feeds it to the first input roller.
Page 298
4600-830, -835, -895 The deskew shutter along the first input roller corrects the skew on the paper. The first input roller feeds the paper to the transfer roller. At the transfer roller, the photoconductor drum transfers the developed image to the paper to create the printed image. As the paper passes the fuser, heat and pressure are applied to permanently bond the toner to the paper.
