Processes
Distributes electrostatic charges uniformly over the surface of the
four photoconductor drums.
Forms an electrostatic latent image on each photoconductor drum.
Develops the electrostatic latent image with toner on each photoconductor drum.
Transfers the four toner images (YMCK) created on each photocon-
ductor drum to the transfer belt one by one to create a complete
toner image on the belt.
Transfers the toner image on the transfer belt to paper.
Separates the toner-transferred paper from the transfer belt.
Removes the remaining toner on the surface of the photoconductor
drums after the first transfer.
Discharges the surface of the photoconductor drums after the drum cleaning.
Removes the remaining toner on the transfer belt surface after the second transfer.
Removes the remaining toner on the second transfer roller/Lw sur-
face after the second transfer.
Collects the toner removed at sub step 1 and 3. (This step is not
illustrated in the figure below.)
