  • Page 408: Charge

    Theory of operation Charge Charge theory Charge roller Photoconductor The charge roller applies a uniform negative electrical charge to the surface of the photoconductor. The insulative properties of the photoconductor allow it to hold a charge and its photoconductive properties allow it to discharge when exposed to light.
  • Page 409: Expose

    Theory of operation Expose Charge theory Photoconductor Printhead The printhead emits a laser that exposes the surface of the photoconductor. The laser pulses coincide with the digital latent image. The exposed areas of the photoconductor surface are discharged, resulting in a photoconductor surface potential that is less negative than the non-exposed areas.
  • Page 410: Develop

    Theory of operation Develop develop theory Developer roller Toner cartridge Photoconductor The developer roller applies the toner from the toner cartridge to the photoconductor during the development process. The difference in surface potential creates an electric field that causes the toner particles to move to the photoconductor according to the pattern of the latent image.
  • Page 411: Transfer

    Theory of operation Transfer Transfer theory Charge roller Transfer roller Paper A positive potential relative to the toned image formed on the photoconductor is applied to the transfer roller. This allows the transfer roller to move the developed toner from the surface of the photoconductor to the paper as the paper is passed between the transfer roller and photoconductor.
  • Page 412: Clean

    Theory of operation Clean The cleaning blade removes the residual toner from the photoconductor after the transfer. After cleaning, the process moves again to the charge process and repeats each cycle until the entire image is transferred to a side of the paper.
  • Page 413: Fuse

    Theory of operation Fuse fuse theory Fuser Paper After the toner image is transferred to the paper, the toner particles are not yet permanently bonded to the paper. For the final step in the print process, paper is transported to the fuser where heat and pressure are applied to it. As a result, the toner particles melt and are permanently fused to the paper, completing the print process.
