SECTION 3
Single Pass Color Laser Technology

INSIDE A COLOR LASER PRINTER

HOW IT WORKS
To create a four-color image in a single pass, four laser beams representing each of the four color separations
charge their respective imaging drums. The drums are then developed with toner.
The yellow and magenta drums transfer their images simultaneously to an intermediate transfer roller.
The cyan and black drums simultaneously transfer their images to a different intermediate transfer
roller.
The yellow/magenta and cyan/black color toner images are then combined on the second intermediate
transfer drum, where the final image is transferred to the paper, then fused by heat and pressure.
WHY IT'S BETTER
The oil-less chemical toners used in the Phaser 6360 printer adhere to the surface of the page rather than
soaking into the paper, increasing the intensity of the color.
The Constant Current Transfer (CCT) technology provides enhanced image transfer on a wide variety
of media types, ensuring the best quality. The simple paper path and dual paper pick mechanisms help
ensure the lowest paper jam rate in the industry. And the internal duplexing capability (two-sided
printing) is the same proven and reliable design used in previous generations of Phaser printers.
