6 Steps of the laser print process....




Ch22
Definition
1. Clean - Drum is scrapped, blasted by erasure lamps..........

2. Charge - Primary corona wire charges the drum uniformly to ~ -600V........

3. Write - Laser writes positive image (~ -100V) to the drum......

4. Develop- Toner is charged (negative charge) and attracted to the paper.......

5. Transfer - Transfer corona positively charges the paper.......

6. Fuse - Pressure roller pushes up, heat roller fuses the toner to the paper (Static eliminator takes charge out of the paper so that it doesn't wrap around the drum).
