5024-001 Paper Discharging Process In the paper discharging process, the paper, with the image transferred, is separated from the transfer drum by applying an AC charge to the paper. See "Printer Theory of Operation" on page 1-14 for paper discharge location. The AC charger unit, consisting of a case and charger wire, has high alternating voltage (VAC) injected into it. During the transfer process, paper adheres to the transfer drum. The paper is then neutralized (discharged) by injecting the alternating voltage generated by the discharger. Paper is then separated from the transfer drum and moves into the fusing process. General Information 1-33
