Step 3: Laser-beam exposure The laser beam strikes the surface of the photosensitive drum in the areas where the image will be formed. The negative charge is neutralized in those areas, which are then ready to accept toner. Figure 5-13 Laser-beam exposure Laser beam Unexposed area Exposed area Step 4: Development Toner inside the image drum acquires a negative charge as the developing cylinder contacts the developing blade. Because the negatively charged surface of the photosensitive drums have been neutralized where they have been struck by the laser beam, the toner adheres to those areas on the drums. The latent image becomes visible on the surface of each drum.
