Erasing - KIP 9000 Service Manual

Erasing

As the first step of print cycle, the negative electric charges on the Drum are removed by Erasing
process, which remained there after the former print cycle.
The Drum has a characteristic to lose the negative electric charges when exposed to the light. So
the Drum is rotated and evenly exposed to the light from the Eraser Lamp. The electric potential on
the Drum becomes 0V as a result of this process.
