The transfer roller [A] is pressed against the OPC drum [B]. The high-voltage
power supply board [C] supplies a positive current to the transfer roller, attracting
the toner from the drum onto the paper. The current is set in accordance with the
paper's type, size, and feed tray.
Separation of the paper from the drum is aided by the drum's own curvature and
by a high AC voltage applied to the discharge plate [D].
The drum drives the transfer roller directly by gears [E], [F].
