Step 4: Image Transfer
During the image transfer stage, the image that is now visible on the OPC Drum is transferred to the media. As the

charge causing the toner to be attracted to the media. 
Figure 5: The visible image is transferred to the media by creating a strong +/- charge reaction
Step 5: Separation 
During the separation stage, electrodes are used to remove the positive charge from the media, allowing the media to 
separate from the OPC Drum. Some laser printers have a special rubber blade that assists in separating the media 
from the OPC Drum.
