Transferring the Image
During the transferring process the Toner image on the Drum surface
is transferred to the paper. A positive charge applied to the back of
the paper by the transfer roller causes the negatively charged Toner
on the Drum surface to be attracted to the page.
The small diameter of the Drum, combined with the stiffness of the
paper, causes the paper to peel away from the Drum. The static
eliminator teeth also help separate the paper from the Drum. The
static eliminator teeth weaken the attractive forces between the
negatively charged Drum surface. After separation, the Drum is
cleaned and conditioned for the next image.
