Step 2: Laser beam exposure The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize negative charges on parts of the drum. An electrostatic latent image is formed on the drum where negative charges were neutralized. Figure 3-9 Laser beam exposure Laser beam Unexposed area Exposed area Step 3: Developing The toner acquires a negative charge from the friction that occurs when the developing cylinder rotates against the developing blade. When the negatively charged toner comes in contact with the drum, it adheres to the electrostatic latent image because the drum surface has a higher potential. The image on the drum becomes visible because of the toner. The AC bias that is superimposed over the develping negative DC bias is applied to the developing cylinder.
