Transferring the image
During the transferring process the toner image on the drum surface is transferred to the paper.
A positive charge applied to the back of the paper by the transfer roller causes the negatively
charged toner on the drum surface to be attracted to the page.
The small diameter of the drum, combined with the stiffness of the paper, causes the paper to
peel away from the drum. The static eliminator teeth also help separate the paper from the drum.
The static eliminator teeth weaken the attractive forces between the negatively-charged drum
surface and the positively-charged paper. After separation, the drum is cleaned and conditioned
for the next image.
