Functional Overview
Image Formation System
Transferring Stage
At the transferring station. the toner image on the drum’s surface
is transferred to tfie paper: A positive cha~ge applied to the back of
the paper by the transfer roller causes the negatively charged
toner on the drum’s surface to be attracted to the page.
The small radius of the drum, combined with the stiffness of the
paper causes the paper to peel away from the drum. The Static
Eliminator also helps separate the paper from the drum. The
Static Eliminator weakens the attractive forces between the
negatively charged drum surface and the positively charged paper.
Without this help, thin paper can wrap around the drum. After
separation, the paper moves to the fusing station and the drum
rotates to the cleaning and conditioning stations.
