Functional block Steps Description
Latent image formation 1. Pre-exposure
2. Primary charging
3. Laser-beam exposure
An invisible latent image forms on the surface of the
photosensitive drums.
Development 4. Development Toner adheres to the electrostatic latent image on the
photosensitive drums.
Transfer 5. Primary transfer
6. Secondary transfer
7. Separation
The toner image transfers to the ITB and then to the
paper.
