HL-1850/1870N SERVICE MANUAL 2.6.3 Developing Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of conductive rubber and the supply roller (which is also made of conductive sponge) rotate against each other. The toner is charged and carried from the supply roller to the development roller. The toner adheres to the development roller and is conveyed to the photosensitive drum at an even thickness controlled by the blade. The toner is nipped between the development roller and the drum and developed onto the latent image on the drum. The electrostatic field between the drum and the development roller, which is DC-biased from the high-voltage power supply, creates the electrostatic potential to attract toner particles from the development roller to the latent image area on the drum surface.

The negative charge applied to the paper causes the positively charged toner to leave the drum, and adhere to the paper. As a result, the image is visible on the paper. (2) Cleaning process of transfer roller If the toner is not transferred onto the paper perfectly it is possible that there may be residual toner on the drum which will adhere to the transfer roller. The transfer voltage changes to a positive voltage during non-printing rotation of the drum. Therefore the transfer roller is cleaned by returning the positively charged toner adhering to the transfer roller onto the photo-conductive drum. 3-29
