Transfer stage
Step 4: primary transfer
The toner image on the photosensitive drum is transferred to the ITB. The DC positive bias is applied
to the primary transfer pad. The negatively charged toner transfers to the ITB from the drum surface.
Figure 5-15 Primary transfer
Step 5: secondary transfer
The toner image on the ITB is transferred to the print media. The DC positive bias is applied to the
secondary transfer roller. As the media passes between the secondary transfer roller and the ITB, the
toner image is transferred to the media.
