Image formation process Each of the following processes functions independently and must be coordinated with the other product processes. Image formation consists of the following processes: Latent-image formation block Step 1: pre-exposure Step 2: primary charging Step 3: laser-beam exposure Developing block Step 4: developing Transfer block Step 5: primary transfer Step 6: secondary transfer Step 7: separation Fusing block Step 8: fusing ITB cleaning block Step 9: ITB cleaning Drum cleaning block Step 10: Drum cleaning Figure 1-13 Image formation process : Media path : Direction of drum rotation : Block : Step ITB cleaning 9.
