3. Development
Toner is attracted to the latent-image area on the exposure drum where surface potential is
lowered due to exposure.
By controlling the developing bias voltage supplied to the develop roller, the amount of toner
taken to the drum is adjusted to keep printing density constant.

<Flow up of toner to the development process>
