3. Correcting the Output at the Trailing Edge of Paper
When paper moves through the transfer charging assembly, the resistance abruptly drops as
soon as the paper leaves the assembly, possibly causing discharge current momentarily and, ulti-
mately, leading to white spots or distorted images. To prevent such a problem, the transfer current
level is corrected (reduced) when the trailing edge of paper passes.

The output of the transfer current is
varied over a width of 20 mm along
the trailing edge of paper.

Transfer current correction (µA)
In a low humidity environment, paper tends to dry
up collecting excess charges (high resistance); to
counter, the output is reduced.
When making a double-sided print, paper will absorb fixing
oil and tend to collect less charges (low resistance); since
the discharge current along the trailing edge of paper will
be low, the output is not varied.

transfer faults occur along the trailing edge)

paper.
