    Chapter 2 T oner Photosensitive drum DC bias Primary transfer roller F-2-19 Step 6: Secondary transfer The toner on the ITB is transferred onto paper in this step. A DC positive bias is applied to the secondary transfer roller to charge the back side of a fed paper. This allows the toner on the ITB to transfer onto paper positively. At the completion of secondary transfer, a DC negative bias is applied to the secondary transfer roller to avoid soiling the back of paper with the toner on the ITB.

    Chapter 2 The machine uses an on-demand method, which requires a low thermal capacity. The method enables the machine to start up quickly and its heater to use little power while the machine is in a standby state. The machine may therefore be characterized by a short wait time and low energy consumption. The machine applies a positive DC bias to its pressure roller for the purpose of reinforcing the retention of toner on print paper, consequently preventing stray toner.

    Chapter 2 In full-color printing, as four toner layers in each colors are piled up on the ITB in primary transfer, the holding force of toner weakens as the transfer process progresses for the 1st color, 2nd color... Therefore, after transferring the first color, the primary transfer DC (positive) bias is increased for the toner in the rest of the colors to gain the holding force of the toner.

    Chapter 2 2.3.3.2 Image Density Calibration (D-max) Control 0008-1704 This control is performed to stabilize the image density of the printer engine. The DCNT Board forms density patterns in each color on the ITB as varying the developing bias when specified conditions are met. Then the DCNT Board measures the density of the patterns with the density sensor and controls the developing bias to obtain a proper density based on the measured density.
