10.1.1 Outline of Print Process
In this device, the print process consists of the seven basic steps to form a toner image on the drum
surface, transfer the toner image to paper, and fix (fuse) the transferred image to paper.
While the drum surface repeats steps 1 to 5 and 7, paper passes through steps 4 to 6.
