Image creation process

[1]

Printer image

processing

•

The intensity of the laser light is controlled by the image signal sent

from the host computer.

[2]

Photo conductor

•

The image projected onto the surface of the photo conductor is con-

verted to a corresponding electrostatic latent image.

[3]

Photo conductor

charging

•

A negative DC charge layer is formed on the surface of the photo

conductor.

[4]

Laser exposure

•

The surface of the photo conductor is irradiated with the laser light

and an electrostatic latent image is thereby formed.

[5]

Developing

•

The toner, negatively charged in the Hopper, is attracted onto the

electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photo conduc-

tor. It is thereby changed to a visible, developed image.

•

A DC negative bias voltage is applied to the Developing roller,

thereby preventing toner from sticking to the background image por-

tion.

[6]

1st image transfer

•

A DC positive voltage is applied to the backside of the transfer belt,

thereby allowing the visible, developed image on the surface of the

photo conductor to be transferred onto the transfer belt.

[7]

2nd image transfer

•

A DC positive voltage is applied to the backside of the media, thereby

allowing the visible, developed image on the surface of the transfer

belt to be transferred onto the media.

[

]

Media separation

•

The media, which has undergone the 2nd image transfer process, is

neutralized.

[9]

Transfer belt cleaning

•

A charge is applied to the transfer belt. By potential difference, resid-

ual toner on the surface of the transfer belt is collected for cleaning.

[10]

Photo conductor

cleaning

•

The residual toner left on the surface of the photo conductor is

scraped off.
