(4) Data writing
Data writing is the process of converting the
image signals sent from the image process-
ing section into optical signal and exposing
the drum surface with the light.
Semiconductive laser element converts
image signals transmitted from the image
processing section into optical signal (laser
emission) to expose the drum surface and
form an electrostatic latent image on it.
