Step 5: Separation
In this step, DC negative bias is applied to the static eliminator according to the elasticity of
papers to separate the papers from the photosensitive drum. The static eliminator is used to
stabilize the paper feed system (prevention of toner stray that appears as polka-dots on print
images in a low-temperature, low-humidity environment), and neutralizes the electric charge
at the back of papers.
