Transfer/Separation Section
In this section, the toner image, which has been formed on the drum surface in the
developing section, is transferred onto the paper supplied from the paper feed
section, and then the paper is separated from the drum.
Transfer
The toner attracted to the photoreceptor drum surface is positively charged due to the
friction with the carrier in the developing unit. Therefore, when the print paper
supplied from the paper feed section is closely attached to the drum surface on which
the print image is developed and the back surface of the paper is negatively charged
by means of corona discharge, the toner attracted to the drum surface is transferred
onto the paper.
